Where have I doubted them? Unlike the EU Remainers I accept poll results.
If people can't be bothered to vote in polls, then they should accept the results of those who do.

"This 'exclusive' study shows half of Britons believe fascist views are on the rise in the US, UK and Europe.
How can they possibly claim that?

Interestingly that study compared Leavers to Remainers attitudes towards the acceptability of Golliwogs:
"Displaying or selling a golliwog is seen as acceptable by almost twice as many leavers (72%) as remainers (37%)."
Other analysis on the results for race, education and political allegiance were also done, a good link is below.

From Link in OP.
Elaine Clark, 64, who was the head of Chelsea's IT department for 20 years, was accused of writing on Facebook: 'Bring Back The Golliwogs/Like & Share if you want the Golliwogs back.'
The mother of two from Purley, south London, was rumbled by a whistleblower who sent screenshots of the post to Chelsea and the FA's Kick It Out campaign.
The anonymous informant's email was titled: 'Elaine Clark — Racist'.
