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.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
