There has been a shift in public opinion following the death of MP Jo Cox, a new poll indicates.

A ComRes poll for the Sunday Mirror shows before Jo was shot, 45% of those surveyed said they would be ‘delighted’ if Britain left the EU.

But after the 41-year-old was shot at 2pm on Thursday, that figure dropped to 38% – with Remain getting a nine point increase in those saying they would be ‘delighted’ to stay in the EU.

The sample size is small as the tragic news came midway through the polling, with some answers coming back before it and some afterwards.

1. Probably the most unreliable poll ever.

Going to hold off judgment until a week or so passes.

3. In less than "a week or so" we'll know the result

The vote is on Thursday.

2. I posted earlier today that murderous right wing jackass probably tipped the poll back

to "remain" all by himself. He made people look at just who wants to leave the EU and it's not looking all that good.
