Two out of three people believe that the EU is trying to bully UK over Brexit

Two in three people believe the European Union is attempting to “bully” the UK in the Brexit negotiations, according to a new poll.

A survey carried out for the Telegraph reveals that while the split of Leave and Remain voters is largely unchanged since the referendum, 67 per cent of individuals, regardless of their voting preference, agreed that “the EU is trying to bully the UK” in its approach to the talks.

The figures come after several senior pro-Europe figures warned that a growing perception of an “excessively tough” attitude by EU leaders threatened the appetite among British voters for future co-operation with Brussels in areas such as the economy, security and research.

According to the ORB International poll of more than 2,000 people, 31 per cent of those surveyed agreed with the statement “the EU is trying to bully the UK in the Brexit negotiations”, while 36  per cent said they strongly agreed.

Of those who responded, 11 per cent said they disagreed, while 6 per cent said they strongly disagreed with that statement.

The ORB survey also shows that the split of Leave and Remain voters has remained largely unchanged since the referendum.

Of those polled, 53  per cent said they would vote Leave if a referendum took place tomorrow, compared with 47 per cent who supported Remain.
