Any gains made by the Remain camp in recent days are minimal and the Brexit referendum result is on a knife-edge, a leading British pollster said Wednesday.

John Curtice, professor of politics at the University of Strathclyde, told the BBC that Remain “has grabbed back some of the ground that it seemed to have lost in last week’s polls — but it’s certainly not grabbed back all of the ground.”

A predicted swing back to the anti-Brexit camp was “not in evidence,” he added.

Curtice told the Independent: “It’s around 50-50 … Undoubtedly last week Leave made progress — the first significant progress of the campaign. You actually had the phone polls calling it 50-50 and you had the internet polls having Leave ahead. It’s very, very tight. You can’t call this referendum — it’s too close.”
