But polls do tell that it's generally less educated people having worst feelings about the EU.

It also happened with the Brexit, where it was mostly less educated workers and farmers supporting Brexit, exactly the demographic that got hurt the most by it.

Farmers by and large supported Brexit in line with the rest of the country, especially once you factor in age.

The single clearest indicator was age. Old people - million who have died since 2016 - voted out, young people who have to live with the devious voted remain.

Not true, poorer, lower educated and rural population predominantly voted for Brexit.

> University graduates and those with higher qualifications predominantly voted to remain. Blue-collar workers, particularly in traditional industrial areas and manual labor jobs, overwhelmingly supported Brexit. Reasons included economic discontent, perceived competition from EU migrants, and a desire for national sovereignty.

As usual, it's only people that have very low capacity to understand a complex world, those that are easier to sell dreams about "sovereignity" that end up screwing their own lives.

Somehow the same happens in the US where conservatives can win even while openly promoting policies against workers (but it's always easy to promise more manufacturing jobs and america first).

Being a farmer didn’t seem to make much difference one you remove other factors like age and education.
