The survey, carried out by Guernsey-based Island Global Research, found that 40 per cent of Islanders believe that Britain’s staying in the EU would be positive for Jersey, compared to 37 per cent who think it would be a negative move.
The poll was carried out across the three Crown Dependencies of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man, sampling 500 residents in each island.
The Isle of Man was found to be the most Eurosceptic of the islands, with 37 per cent of residents thinking an In vote would be a good thing and 40 per cent taking the opposite view, while Guernsey was the most pro-European, with 43 per cent of residents viewing the UK staying in as positive for their island and just 26 per cent saying it would be negative.
