Four years on, 57% say Brexit was a failure

And exclusive Standard poll finds 70% of young voters rate ita mistake

THE people of Britain today deliver a damning verdict on Brexit, four years on from leaving the European Union.

An exclusive Ipsos poll for the Evening Standard found 57 per cent of adults believe Brexit has been more of a failure, with just 13 per cent saying it has been more of a success.

Britain left the European trading bloc at 11pm on January 31, 2020, with the nation divided after a 52 per cent to 48 per cent referendum result to Leave in 2016. But now more than four times as many people see Brexit as having not worked than those who believe it has done so. Younger adults, Londoners and graduates are particularly disappointed groups. The survey showed:

70 per cent of 18 to 34-year-olds think Brexit has been more of a failure, and 64 per cent of 35-54s, compared with 38 per cent of those aged 65+.

67 per cent of Londoners brand Brexit more of a failure, compared with 49 per cent in the Midlands.

73 per cent of graduates have this negative view of Brexit, double the 36 per cent of those without formal qualifications.
