As British Prime Minister David Cameron is preparing to attend an EU crucial summit in Brussels, a new poll has found that the British public is now evenly divided over a prospect for a British exit from the EU.
According to the poll conducted by ICM, 42 percent of the interviewees say they prefer to stay in the block but 41 percent announced they would leave.
The poll comes as the EU referendum bill last night passed through the House of Lords, meaning that Mr Cameron could potentially hold his vote in June next year. This is the first time since 2013 that ICM has found that voters are evenly split.
The independent polling company has in recent weeks found that the gap between the “Leave” and “Remain” campaigns is narrowing significantly.
