Almost half of voters want another EU referendum in the next five years, while less than a third would support Brexit in a fresh vote.
Over the past ten years, popular perceptions of Europe have changed, according to research conducted by More in Common for the Sunday Times.
The poll of more than 2,000 people found 29 per cent would vote to leave the EU if the Brexit vote was repeated, compared to 52 per cent in the referendum in June 2016.
Now, 52 per cent would say they would back being in the EU, with 8 per cent uncertain and 11 per cent saying they would not vote.
Almost half (49 per cent) believed there should be a referendum on rejoining the bloc in the next five years, with more than a third (37 per cent) opposed.
It comes as Nigel Farage’s appearances on Sky News sparked thousands of complaints.
Keir Starmer has sought a closer relationship with Brussels since entering Government, which includes an EU-UK deal to reduce obstacles to trade since Brexit.
The Prime Minister has also struck up relationships with several European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, following years of animosity from Tory PMs towards European leaders.
However, because the previous referendum on EU membership required years of Commons struggles to implement, the government has no desire to hold another one.
The poll also found a majority (58 per cent) believe the UK should stay in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), compared to 28 per cent who think it should discontinue its membership.
Nigel Farage said leaving the ECHR would be the first thing he would do if he won the next election, while Kemi Badenoch has said the Tories will review it.
The deal, which Winston Churchill helped to draw up after the Second World War, has been blamed by critics for making it more difficult to deport migrants who have come to Britain by protecting their human rights.
Luke Tryl, director of More in Common, said: “With fewer than three in ten saying they would vote to leave the EU in a referendum today and almost six in ten saying the UK should remain in the ECHR, the days of Europe as a political bogeyman may be on the wane and politicians might find themselves pushed on how they’ll build a more constructive relationship with Europe.
“That’s especially true in the face of an erratic Trump presidency, with Brits split as to whether Starmer is being too friendly to the US president or not.”
People didn’t get the Brexit they voted for.
Some folks want to rejoin the EU, and hopefully, we will be offered a referendum, or at the very least, the single market in the future. By that time, some of the relics that voted to leave will have parted this earth or will be past caring.
There were a lot of people who voted for Brexit and then changed their minds, and most Brits know that Brexit was a mistake.
Brexit has been a total nightmare. People voted to leave the EU, and we kind of did, but the EU is our biggest and closest trading partner, so we will always need a certain amount of alignment.
I mean, what’s not to love about Brexit? All the boat people, higher prices, queuing at customs, and extra paperwork. You just have to be happy!
Most people voted for Brexit due to immigration, but we have a more elevated level of immigration than ever before, and ultimately, they will give illegals a vote.
