The EU referendum polls released in the last 24 hours shows that we have no idea how the vote will turn out
A number of EU referendum polls have been published in the last 24 hours and they don't really agree on much. In fact, all the latest round of data shows is that experts are struggling to predict how the June 23 vote will turn out with enough accuracy to be taken totally seriously.
The most recent poll was an OBR survey published by The Telegraph on Tuesday which put the Remain campaign nearly ten points ahead of Leave (52%-43%) - with just 5% of respondents saying they don't know how they'll vote.
Compare this to a ComRes survey released on Monday which gave Leave a seven-point lead (45%-38%) but also said 17% still aren't sure how they intend to vote. There's a 12-point discrepancy between the results each research agency published about undecided voters. Twelve per cent is a lot - it could decide a referendum.
The picture becomes even more unclear when you take a look at research conducted by ICM which focused on how voting intention differs between online and over-the-phone polling. According to ICM, its most recent online survey gave Remain a seven-point lead over Leave (48%-41%), but over the phone, more respondents said they planned to vote for Britain to leave the 28-nation bloc (44%-43%).
