There are the die hards on both sides, who were absolutely of that persuaion beforehand and will never change their minds. There are also a small number of people who have felt bad about one or other aspect of the decision a it has impacted them or their close circle and will change their vote. But having changed, they won't change now.
My guesss would be that a new referendum would be 55 - 45 remain now. After all, there has been a 6 - 7% turnover in the electorate in the last 3 year and the newbies are more remain keep to the Fen Causeway
But even now, it begs the question as to why Remain voters can't get their act together and vote for Remain candidates and some are even voting for Boris if the party polling figures are to be believed.
I'm still not convinced this is in the bag for Boris... Index of Frank's Diaries
Labour meanwhile want to bring the country together in the aftermath of any decision to leave or remain and so are determinedly riding the fence. You might think that it is the duty of govermnet to make the hard decisions, but Cameron changed that dynamic on this question and it has to be played out to the conclusion.

This is why a Remain alliance is imposssible, Remain is just a stance, rather like their univesity tuition fees promise of 9 years ago, it is just a position to be traded away for power.
The LibDems have no credibility as a party of the centre, let alone as one of the left. They're a moderate right wing party and will always ally with the right. keep to the Fen Causeway
