Almost half of Brits say Brexit has made their daily life worse, poll finds

It is six years since Britain voted to leave the EU and a new poll has found almost half of Britons say Brexit has made their daily life worse. That figure has risen from 30% in June 2021 to 45% now.

Seven in ten of those who voted remain feel their daily life is worse, up from half last year – and the proportion of leave voters who say the same has doubled over the same period, from 10 to 22%.

Ipsos UK interviewed 1,023 British adults aged 18-75 online between June 3 and June 25, 2022, online. The polling, New polling with the EU:UK Forum shows that the proportion of Britons who think the UK’s exit from the EU has made their daily life worse has increased. At the same time, the proportion of those who say that Brexit has made their daily lives better has also risen, although they remain a smaller group, 17% say that is true up from one in ten in June 2021. Among remain voters, one in ten now say Brexit has made daily life better (up from 5% in 2021) – while a quarter of leave voters say the same, an increase from 17% a year ago.
