I was traveling in SE Asia for most of the last 5-6 weeks and got to watch news from the BBC quite a bit. Most polls were very close and within a margin of error that made it impossible to predict.

"The polls consistently indicated that there was a very real chance that Britain would vote to leave. Polling averages even showed “Leave” with a lead for most of the last month; over all, 17 of the 35 surveys conducted in June showed the Leave side with the edge, while just 15 showed Remain ahead."
I don't put too much faith in the accuracy of the polls at this point in time. Too many people undecided. All the candidates have to put substance behind their promises. Still more than 4 months to go before the election and we haven't even had the conventions yet. Then we will have several debates which will move the undecideds in one direction or the other.
