I thought it was an interesting question. Mainly because it shows how fixed my position is - it's so difficult to to accept the premise; "regardless of how likely", which I assume is the way leave voters feel.

The Remainer questions are more loaded and difficult to interpret in that survey I think.
The ones to the Leavers are simple - some %age of respondants would take economic damage over the status quo.
The Remainer ones though? I assume they're not referring to the status quo, but to the effect of leaving.
So 34% would take economic damage in excess of what they perceive the effect of leaving to be? Or they'd take some damage as they don't think it would be as bad as leaving?

Some new YouGov research

And one of the graphs has been annotated by the people of the internet
(To spell it out 'old' people don't care if jobs are lost as a result of Brexit because their own retired lifestyles will be wholly unaffected)
