A new Brexit survey shows 59% of Mid Sussex Times readers believe Britain will be better off economically inside Europe. As well as this 62% said Britain should continue to be part of the single European market.
The figures show a split between those who voted Leave and those who voted Remain in the referendum. Among Leave voters, just 9% think Britain is better off economically in Europe, while nearly a fifth of these voters (18%) think we should continue to be part of the Single Market.

Three-fifths of those surveyed on the site (59%) said they were not happy with the status of Brexit negotiations at the moment, with just one in six (17%) saying they were happy (the rest weren’t sure).
Regardless of how those surveyed voted in the referendum, they were more likely to be unhappy than happy with the way negotiations are going.
Among those who said they voted Leave, 43% are unhappy with the status of negotiations compared to 32% who were happy. Two-thirds of those who voted Remain (67%) said they were unhappy, compared to 9% who said they were happy.

Leave voters were more likely to say they would not vote in the same way now, with one in 18 Leave voters saying they’d act differently (6%) compared to one in 55 Remain voters (2%).
The study, run in partnership with Google Surveys, was completed online by 400 people who visited the Mid Sussex Times website.
