国际英语新闻:UK's EU referendum polls show "Leave", "Remain" tied up

LONDON, June 21 (Xinhua) -- The latest polls showed the "Leave" camp was tied with the "Remain" camp in the EU referendum to determine whether or not Britain should stay in the 28-member bloc.

The number of Remain supporters has grown just two days before the EU referendum.

According to a poll conducted by market research firm YouGov for The Times newspaper, the Leave side is now two points ahead of Remain, at 44 percent to 42, with the Leave camp gaining one point compared with the last poll results, while the Remain camp lost two points.

The poll by ORB International for The Telegraph newspaper showed Tuesday that 53 percent would vote stay, up five percentage points than a week ago to the 46 percent voting leave, down three points.

Meanwhile, the Financial Times' so-called "poll of polls" showed both sides level with 44 percent each.

The Remain camp has been cheered up as British football star David Beckham showed his support and called on people to vote to stay in the EU on Tuesday.

On Tuesday afternoon, British Prime Minister David Cameron also made a speech outside 10 Downing Street to plea for Britons to vote remain.

He stressed that Britain's economy would be stronger if it stayed in the EU, and weaker if it left, saying leaving would make the country harder to keep safe.
