Quick check of the article shows what was already obvious here. Someone with reach tweeted the link to their largely pro-EU followers, who then did the thing and hijacked the poll to amusing effect.
The original poll was locked behind a pay wall, which is arguably less representative than what they ended up with. And even with the poll limited to those paying for GB News, who one would expect to skew right politically, it showed a third of that sample would still want to rejoin.
I mean, polls on less fundamentalist outlets have shown similar results. Brexit really has been a pure trainwreck for the UK, and the current government is an absolute mess. They’ve not long had a prime minister that lasted less time than a school summer holiday.
You know you done fucked up when even your partisan viewerbase thinks things have gone horribly fucking wrong.

Headline is likely a bit misleading though.
