MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the ComRes poll commissioned by The Independent, as many as 45 percent of those surveyed believe that Johnson is "more likely to tell the truth" about the European Union than the British prime minister, whose support stands at 21 percent.
Respondents answering the poll said Leave campaigners were considered "more likely to tell the truth" compared to campaigners for Remain, the poll revealed.
The poll was conducted online among 2,043 adults on May 11-12.
UK citizens are set to vote on June 23 in a referendum on the country's EU membership, after Prime Minister David Cameron and the leaders of the 27 European Union member states reached a deal in February to grant the United Kingdom a special status within the bloc. Johnson supports the Leave campaign, while Cameron is seeking his country to remain in the European Union.
