Fears of a second rejection of the European constitution by another EU founding country grew yesterday with the latest opinion poll showing the No camp in The Netherlands gaining more ground.
Some 59 per cent of voters are poised to vote against, with 41 per cent in favour. The new poll projected a turnout of around 48 per cent.
A survey of callers who yesterday bombarded a popular Dutch Radio One spot also hinted at a large No vote against the European constitution.
Over 70 per cent said they were voting No, citing government "arrogance" and the "gulf between politicians and the electorate". Other factors cited were "confusion" and "lack of information".
