A majority of Britons believe that David Cameron’s EU renegotiation deal is “bad” for Britain, a snap poll by Sky News has revealed.

Over a thousand people were asked by Sky News whether they believed Mr. Cameron had secured a “good” or a “bad” deal for Britain, as his famous “renegotiation” came to light yesterday afternoon.

The Prime Minister was pilloried by even the pro-EU mainstream media this morning, and now it can be revealed that 69 per cent of Britons feel the same way.

Just 31 per cent said they thought Mr. Cameron had secured a good deal for Britain, with the breakdown of these figures revealing even more interesting trends.

Fifty-seven per cent of young people thought Mr. Cameron’s deal was bad, with 43 per cent being in favour. A whopping 76 per cent of those aged over 55 slammed the PM’s deal, and 70 per cent between 35 and 54 years of age called it “bad”.

Those in the North of England thought worst of the deal, while Scottish voters were most complimentary about it, with 41 per cent endorsing it.

And intriguingly, the deal was less popular with women than men. Seventy per cent of women felt Mr. Cameron had failed to secure a good deal for Britain, whereas 68 per cent of men said they felt the same.

Of all socioeconomic groups, only the richest in Britain thought that Mr. Cameron had secured a good deal. Sixty-three per cent of those polled in Experian’s ‘A’ category, According to the organisation, this group represents “the wealthiest 10 per cent of people in the UK, set in their careers and with substantial equity and net worth.”

Asked if the draft EU deal make people more or less likely to vote to stay in the EU, 44 per cent said it makes them less likely to vote to remain, and just 19 per cent said it convinces them to stay.
