MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the Sky Data poll, 40 percent said the Leave and Remain camps were actively unhelpful, while 35 percent of those polled considered them neither helpful nor unhelpful. One in four people told the pollster the campaigns had helped them to decide how to vote.

The poll results also showed that 50 percent of those interviewed had less respect for politicians after the campaigns, while 42 percent said their opinion on public officials had not changed because of the referendum debate. As many as 8 percent said they now had more respect for politicians.

The poll came on the eve of the referendum on Thursday on whether the United Kingdom should stay in or leave the European Union.
