The ratio for those is favour of reversing Brexit is very close to two to one now.

Quite a lot of people are on the fence though.

That's 37% of leave voters not of all voters.

The poll, carried out by the Times, showed that 37% of Leave voters believe Brexit has a been a failure, with just 20% saying it a success and 35% sitting on the fence.

Since the leave vote was 52% that is roughly half so 18% overall.

I was more thinking about the line on Tory voters at the end. 38% against, 22% for, leaving 40% on the fence.

Although, typing it out I just realised I did the maths wrong in my head. I thought it was 50%. Either way, it's still a large portion of people undecided.

Current Tory voting intention is as low as 24% with some polling.
