Euroscepticism on the Rise in Britain

More than half likely to vote to leave in an in/out referendum

The public mood of Euroscepticism is hardening, according to an exclusive Guardian/ICM poll that finds 51% of respondents would vote to take Britain out of the EU, against just 40% who say they would vote to stay in.

The news comes as the prime minister prepares to give a widely anticipated speech on Britain's relationship with the EU in the new year.
