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.
Headline is likely a bit misleading though.

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 polls.

How can you be so sure it's not genuine? Brexit has absolutely fucked Britain and the conservative party is a fucking mess
