The figures show a split between those who voted Leave and those who voted Remain in the referendum.

Among Leave voters, 12% think Britain is better off economically in Europe, while three in 10 of these voters (30%) think we should continue to be part of the Single Market.

Remain voters are, unsurprisingly, much more likely to think continuing close ties with Europe is a good idea, with 90% saying Britain is better off economically inside Europe and 88% saying we should continue to be part of the Single Market.

More than three-fifths of those surveyed on the site (64%) said they were not happy with the status of Brexit negotiations at the moment, with just a fifth (19%) 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, 45% are unhappy with the status of negotiations compared to 38% who were happy.

More than three-quarters of those who voted Remain (75%) said they were unhappy, compared to 8% who said they were happy.

However, most of those surveyed said they would still stick with how they voted - 83% of Leave voters and 93% of Remain voters.

Leave voters were more likely to say they would not vote in the same way now, with one in 10 Leave voters saying they'd act differently (10%) compared to one in 28 Remain voters (4%).

The study, run in partnership with Google Surveys, was completed online by 700 people who visited the Harrogate Advertiser website.
