Brexit's architects are hated by British public, chart shows
Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and Nigel Farage's popularity has plummeted since last year's referendum according to polls
The popularity of some of the key
Brexit campaigners, including
Boris Johnson,
Nigel Farage and
Michael Gove, has fallen to record low as the UK marks a year since the EU referendum, a new poll shows.
The survey by YouGov found that the politicians who vigorously campaigned for Britain to leave the 27 nation bloc have become increasingly disliked by the public.
At the time of the referendum last June, a YouGov poll found 40 per cent of respondents said they disliked or really disliked Mr Johnson, while 49 per cent said the same of Mr Farage and 65 per cent for Mr Gove.
A similar poll conducted by YouGov in June this year, showed the proportion of respondents who said they disliked Mr Johnson had increased to 53 per cent.
Dislike of Mr Farage had increased to 78 per cent, while Mr Gove scored a staggering 83 per cent.
During the referendum campaign, Mr Johnson and Mr Gove toured the country on a bus promising voters an additional £350m would be spent on the NHS if the UK left the EU.
Almost immediately after the vote, senior campaigners started to backtrack on it.
The UK Statistics Authority also described it as “potentially misleading”. Mr Johnson nonetheless insisted in April that
he still stood by his pre-referendum promise
They will come to woe the day!
