Views on ‘how is Brexit going?

In June 2026, when asked ‘How is Brexit going?’, nearly two-thirds (61%) of Britons thought that Brexit has been more of a failure than success, including 32% of Leave voters (see Figure 17.5).

Only 12% feel that it has been more of a success. However, a significant 19% of Britons consider it to be neither, plus 8% who don’t know.

Only a quarter of those who voted to leave the EU (25%) believe Brexit has been a success, whereas only 2% of those who voted remain think it has been a success.

For UK voters at GE 2024:
