'Yes' vote strengthens: Red C poll

16:43, Post Reporter

A new opinion poll for *The Sunday Business Post*, conducted by Red C, shows a widening lead for the Yes campaign in the forthcoming EU Treaty referendum, which takes place on May 31st.

"When undecided voters are excluded, the Yes side leads by 63 per cent to 37 per cent, which is a commanding lead with just two and a half weeks to go to polling," said Pat Leahy, political editor of *The Sunday Business Post*. "While previous referendums have seen late swings against government-sponsored measures, the No side needs something dramatic to change in the campaign if it is to stop the treaty being passed."

Here are the results of the poll.
