Honestly this means nothing.
The polls have failed repeatedly ever since online canvassing has become a thing, when people used to do door to door they were more accurate back then, now people either refuse to air their views till voting day or the figures are skewered by online canvassing which doesn't reach everyone.
Why do you think no one saw Brexit or Trump coming?
Anyway if some Leave voters are changing their mind its because the Gov't have been deliberately not giving people the Brexit they wanted.
I honestly at this point don't care if we Leave or Remain, but what I do care about is the outrageous subversion of democracy that's taking place, that to me is a bigger issue than this whole Leave / Remain stuff.

There was no consensus over what Brexit meant at the time of the referendum.
Democracy has not been subverted. You will still have another election to voice your complaints. Don't like how the Conservatives have handled Brexit? Vote them out next election. There's democracy.

I said Northern Ireland would be a big problem. I was told I didn't know what I was talking about.
Turns out Brexit has been very hard to work out, largely because of Northern Ireland. That's just a fact. There's no point blaming the government.
