How Brexit views are shifting, and becoming more polarised among some groups of voters

The change against 2016 is against respondents who say they voted in 2016 and remember, and are prepared to say, which way they voted. For this reason, the leave and remain percentages in this section do not add up to 100. For example, in the student case much of the new support for remain seems to arise from those who didn't (or couldn't) vote in 2016.
