Two new polls:

Two online polls published yesterday give the Remain side a one point lead over Leave. A YouGov poll has Remain on 39% (-1%) and Leave on 38% (+1%) with 23% undecided, while an ICM poll has Remain on 44% (-1%) and Leave on 43% (no change) with 13% undecided.

Meanwhile, the government has come under fire after announcing yesterday that it would send out a pamphlet to 27 million homes at a cost of £9.3m warning that an EU exit would cause an “economic shock”, “risk higher prices of some household goods and damage living standards” and put jobs at risk. Justice Secretary and Vote Leave Chair Michael Gove described it a “disgraceful” use of public money. Meanwhile, Vote Leave also come under pressure after sending out a leaflet purporting to contain neutral information about the EU and containing none of the group’s standard branding, prompting Shadow Leader of the House Chris Bryant to lodge a complaint with the Electoral Commission. Open Europe’s Raoul Ruparel appeared on Sky News yesterday, discussing the veracity of various claims made by both sides in the referendum campaign.

In a speech later today addressed at young voters, Prime Minister David Cameron will argue that “young people are less likely to vote than older people. Yet you’re the ones that are going to be most affected by the outcome – more than any other vote in your lifetime. The jobs you’ll do, the prices you’ll pay, the chances you’ll get to work, study and travel – so many of your future opportunities are connected to whether Britain is in or out of Europe. And remember: it’s widely accepted there would be an economic shock if we left. Who gets hit hardest by those shocks? Young people.”
