Nearly two-thirds of Britons now support a referendum on rejoining the European Union, two years after the UK left.

Opposition to another vote has decreased, with those who believe there should never be one falling to less than a quarter, according to an exclusive Savanta poll conducted for The Independent.

The UK formally left the EU on January 31, 2020, but during the 'transition period,' it followed Brussels laws and remained in the single market until December 31, 2020.

According to the survey, Britons believe the economy, the UK's global influence, and its ability to control its own borders have all deteriorated since then. This appears to have increased the number of people who want a future referendum on membership.

The number of people who believe another vote should be held has risen to 65 percent, up from 55 percent at the same point last year, though they are divided on the timing.

On the first anniversary of Britain's exit, 54 percent now say Brexit was the wrong decision, up from 46 percent last year.

Not only do the majority of Britons believe Brexit has made many things worse, but their percentage has increased in many areas in the last year. A total of 56 percent think now leaving the EU has made the economy worse, up from 44 percent.

Half of Britons believe it has harmed the UK's ability to control its own borders, a key Brexiteer pledge, rising from 43% to 50%, according to The Independent. 

Furthermore, the proportion who believe it has harmed Britain's global influence has risen to 50% from 39%. The findings coincide with a renewed focus on the consequences of Brexit.
