      This is not a “will the UK try to rejoin one day” trend, this is a brexit regret trend.

      The people responding “rejoin” to these polls probably imagine that EU accession will be done on the previous terms. If you did the same graph but made it clear to pollees that rejoining would entail a switch to the Euro and many more legislative constraints, it would almost certainly read overwhelmingly “Stay out”.

      There has been no change for 1.5 years now, what trend? The 1.5 years where it changed a little(!) prior?

          Why specifically 3 years? Any other time frame will not support your argument? There is no trend on either direction currently, has not been for 1.5 years.

            Brexit happened at the end of January of 2020, so 3 years is really the only viable amount of time to consider {since this year isn’t over to be considered).

        The fact that in 1.5 years there was no change IS a trend.

        And notice the overall change after merely 3 years.
