A survey conducted by Opinum Survey for the Best of Britain group showed similar results to the results of a similar poll conducted by YouGov poll last December.

Unlike last December’s poll, this survey takes the Conservative party's supporters, commonly referred to as Tories, as the main studied sample. The conservative populous of the British public was at the forefront of the Brexit movement back in 202. However, the center has shown decreasing support for Brexit even among the conservatives. 

Of the studied sample, 33% believe Brexit has created more problems than it has solved and only 22% believe Britain's exit from the EU has solved more problems than it has created. The rest were undecided.

Regardless of their assessment of Brexit, the Tories - be it relatively beneficial or relatively costly or neither - agreed that Brexit has some problematic implications. Some of the cited key concerns were the Northern Ireland Protocol among 39% of the surveyed, 36% cited red-taping UK businesses, i.e., increased restrictions on British businesses, while 33% cited difficulties working abroad.

Border checks and extra paperwork for freight traffic were reintroduced when Britain left the European Union last year, ending free movement for people and goods with the block.

The chief executive of Best for Britain, a civil society campaign that opposes Brexit, capitalized on the results found in the study to advocate for closer ties with Europe. 

In an interview with the Telegraph, Tory MP Craig Mackinlay justified the survey's results by blaming the minimal benefits of Brexit on the timid action of the government. 

However, the decreasing popularity of Brexit among tories isn't sufficient to assume a decrease in support for the Conservative party in favor of Labor. Surveys studying the public show an increase in apathy in relation to Brexit.
