Survation asked 1,003 UK adults yesterday afternoon between 3.30 and 9pm.

Matt Brief, Head of Dealing at IG Group, said: “The latest polling figures match the shift we have seen in other polls seen since Thursday, namely that Remain have reclaimed a lead, if only by a small margin.

"The key point is that plenty of voters remain undecided, which suggests that there is still ‘all to play for’ in the question of the UK’s future direction.

"Thus, the UK’s referendum continues to match the trend seen across the globe in such plebiscites, with the gap between the campaigns narrowing and each vote becoming more and more crucial."

He added: "Since the last IG/Survation poll, markets have become much more optimistic about the outcome, with both the FTSE 100 and sterling seeing their biggest days in years. There is still time for fresh disruption, but for now the markets have calmed.”
