To the dismay of the Remain campaign, Barack Obama’s hyped entry into the campaign earlier in the year made 24 per cent of voters more likely to vote Leave, but just 16 per cent back Remain as planned.

BMG Research polled 1,638 voters, who found that most big name interventions on the Brexit debate have driven voters towards that Leave camp.

Of those polled 29 per cent said the PM makes them more and more likely to vote to Leave on June 23 compared to 15 per cent who say answer his pleas to reject Brexit.

The poll suggested David Cameron’s Project Fear is not working, with 56 per cent of voters claiming to have not had their opinion changed at all by the tidal wave of warnings being issued by the PM.

However Nigel Farage makes voters more likely to back Brexit, according to 22 per cent of voters, compared to the 17 per cent who say he makes them want to stay in the EU.

Donald Trump’s comments that Britain should Leave made 19 per cent of voters keen to back Brexit and just 10 per cent back Remain.

Analysing the results, Katie Ghose, of the Electoral Reform Society which commissioned the poll, said: “These surprising findings show that the public are completely switched off by the ‘big names’ of the EU referendum debate.

She added: “Voters are tired of personality politics, and it’s driving them away from engaging with the referendum, with the public seeing it as a battle within parties and Westminster rather than the crucial decision for Britain’s future that it is.”

Matthew Elliot, chief Executive of Vote Leave, welcomed the poll saying: “Voters don't like people talking down Britain so no wonder David Cameron's interventions have backfired so badly on him and his mates."
