May took 31.6% of the poll, Nigel Farage was in second place on 18%, followed by Scotland’s first minister Nicola Sturgeon (12.5%).

Just 9.7% said Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn had impressed them since June and only 7.4% were impressed with Lib Dem leader Tim Farron.

On the key question - have you changed your mind about your vote? - almost 85% of leave voters among Examiner readers said they would still vote for Brexit.
