UK’s Brexit Leave campaign surging

Nervous Remain supporters stepped up campaigning in Britain’s EU referendum after odds on a vote to leave the bloc dramatically narrowed. This follows a string of polls showing a surge in Leave sentiment.

Bookmakers cut the odds of an exit vote in the June 23 referendum to as short as 6-5.

Remain was still the favorite, but only just, after several phone and online polls, released late Monday, suggested growing support for leaving the 28-nation bloc.
