Information about the voting intentions of Northern Ireland voters in the upcoming EU referendum is scarce. Most major UK polling companies do not include a sample of Northern Ireland voters. The polls below, however, reveal that since August 2015, there has been a slight drop in support among Northern Ireland voters for remaining in the EU, although a majority favour staying in. The number of undecideds has reduced considerably over time and shifted in favour of leaving the EU.
