Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Leave campaign has taken the lead by a single percentage point in the final poll by the Opinium firm to be released before the EU referendum.
Opinium, which was the most accurate pollster at the 2015 general election, said the race was "too close to call" on account of the survey.
The result represents a gain of one point for Leave, who are up to 45 per cent. Remain were on 44 per cent in the survey.
9 per cent of voters are undecided but say they will vote.
All the changes compared to the firm's penultimate poll are within the margin of error.
That survey, released on Sunday, had Leave and Remain tied on 44 per cent.
A spokesperson for the firm said: "Too close to call in final EU referendum poll. Everything rests on 9 per cent still undecided."
Two more opinion polls, from YouGov and ComRes, are expected this evening.
The Ipsos MORI firm is expected to release a poll at 10am tomorrow.
YouGov will also release a so-called "re-contact survey" where it polls people on how they voted once polls close.
This method is not a full exit poll but should give some indication of turnout.
The European Union referendum takes place on Thursday. The deadline to register to vote has already passed.
