Weren't the opinion polls prior to the referendum mainly showing remain as more popular than leave?
For some time, yes, but it was showing it as being extremely close either way. The polls were really not far off at all, people just didn't take them seriously it seems.
I'm even aware of people who have moved from remain to leave as they've not been happy with the EU's attitude during the process
Now that really is a special type of 'head up their own ass' though.

And most of the polls are still showing it as extremely close, a second referendum wouldn't necessarily end up with leave being overturned as many assume (and would arguably give more of a mandate for a hard brexit).
That's not to say they're happy with the UK attitude either but I don't think many could argue that the EU have been flawless in this shitstorm.

Weren't the opinion polls prior to the referendum mainly showing remain as more popular than leave? Obviously that wasn't reflected in the referendum result.
Outside of the echo chambers of LFGSS and the like there is still plenty of appetite for leave, and still a surprisingly large appetite for a no-deal. I'm even aware of people who have moved from remain to leave as they've not been happy with the EU's attitude during the process (refusing any future trade talks for instance).
I wouldn't be overly surprised if May's deal did somehow get through at the last minute, just a gut feeling.
