Fascinating insight into a variety of topics surrounding the public's perception of the Brexit process and their attitudes towards it. Not a whole lot has changed in the whole scheme of things it would appear and if there were a vote tomorrow then it would likely come down to the wire again, aside from those who didn't vote getting off their backsides to do so second time around.

To me the couple of stand out questions in this was the perception that the Tories were still considered the best party to negotiate our exit and that the re-vote if it took place would still be almost 50-50 again.
The first of these shows The Labour party have screwed up a huge opportunity here to gain some ground on the Tories, they have sat on the fence completely over Brexit and appear to have no firm stance themselves on the subject. The in fighting over Corbyn's position must also be hurting them and maybe they as a party need to find a unifying person to lead them into the next election because I don't think Corbyn can beat anyone that the Tories put up.
The second is rightly pointed out as a real tough poll to come up with accurate figures for a couple of reasons. First its unknown if the turnout in general would be up, down or the same. Second would the young voters vote this time and would those who have turned 18 since the first referendum turn out and which way would they vote?? Almost impossible to accurately answer those questions but you would have to think the young voters would overwhelmingly vote to Remain, so getting 10% more of them out to vote would likely see a Remain victory.
