Why do people support Boris Johnson's Brexit deal? | YouGov

Only 39% supported Johnson’s deal and, of those, only 2% think it is a good deal.

By far the greatest reason for accepting is “To Get Brexit Done” tapping into the frustration, “sick of it”

32% actively oppose the deal

A whopping 30% don’t know.

I have to say to proceed with any Brexit on this basis is nothing short of grossly irresponsible.

For those who say a Referendum is better than Revoke, people aren’t going to thank you for dragging this on and on and on.
Just 2% think it is a good deal.

2% FGS.

And people KNOW how dangerous another referendum is going to be.

They KNOW it is a Linus blanket to remainers. Makes them feel better about revoking.

Leavers don’t want one.

They would rather someone else made the final decision.
“The paucity of references to features of the deal shows that support for Johnson’s deal is barely, if at all, based on evaluations of the deal. Instead most people who want Johnson’s deal just want any Brexit settlement, and they want it now.”
It isn’t that even all those 39% that would support Johnson’s deal actually want to leave.

They have just had enough.

Remainers too.

Politicians & campaigners who do not tap into that will be missing out in the emotional connection to finishing it one way or another NOW
I am afraid it is one of the reasons why I think Revoke will have more appeal.

Especially if the campaign focuses both on the sense of frustration and fear people are feeling...and the fact that Johnson’s deal opens up an even more severe landscape of uncertainty.
Handled well #Revoke will be seen as the responsible thing to do because people have suffered enough.
Ignore this at your peril.
