A string of opinion polls today showed voters are ignoring the hard hitting intervention of Barack Obama and support for Brexit has gone up.
In the latest poll, by ICM, the campaign to leave the EU was ahead 46 per cent to 44 per cent - with the poll showing a two point rise for Out.
A survey by ORB showed the In campaign was in front by five points but that the gap had closed markedly since last week.
Meanwhile, data produced by Sky News suggested 57 per cent of the public would not be influenced by the President's claims.
Mr Obama enraged Vote Leave supporters on Friday by claiming Britain would be sent to the 'back of the queue' for trade deals if it quit jthe EU.
The new polls came as Sir Lynton Crosby today warned the campaign to keep Britain in the EU risks becoming complacent about the referendum despite there still being a 'marathon' to polling day.
