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.A second “on the day” poll of voters has shown Remain winning the EU referendum.
Ipsos MORI found 54 per cent of people backing Remain and 46 per cent of people backing Leave.
The eight point lead against Brexit comes after a YouGov recontact survey found a slightly narrower result with 52 per cent backing Remain and 48 per cent backing Leave.
Neither survey is a genuine “exit poll” of the type that correctly called the nuances of the 2015 general election result in May last year and in 2010.
However, both join mounting evidence that Remain may have won the vote amid a huge turnout surge.
Ukip leader Nigel Farage appeared to concede the result before the first local authority’s results were even in.
The value of the pound went above $1.50 and hit a 2016 high following the two polls.
The first official results, from the North East of England, are expected before midnight on polling day.
