YouGov predicted a hung Parliament and got almost all seats correct to boot, with a more sophisticated statistical model. It was roundly panned here, which in retrospect seems a little naive.
It's worth pointing out that Parliament did indeed vote for Article 50 notification, but didn't specify a date and time to sign it, so that doesn't let May off the hook for rushing the process.

Nigel Farage has made a bizarre speech. Calling MPs traitors - for voting down a deal he hates?
Calling Westminster “enemy territory” - the place he tried and failed about 8 times to enter?
Not that he’s bitter at all ..
I have to say some of those protesters, young or old, look increasingly like an eccentric minority.

It remains to be seen whether they're now a minority or still slightly more than half the voters. Most polls suggest a little movement away from Brexit since 2016, but not exactly enough to feel confident. And even if it were, say, now 60/40 in favour, that's a lot of angry Brexit supporters.
But the most notable thing about the protests, really, is how about half of the crowd booed the result and the other half cheered that May's Deal had been voted down. If Brexit supporters are themselves that divided, what hope the rest of the country?

What I’m saying Jim is that the impression you get from the relative protests that the Brexit ones are made up of people clinging to a subset of the Leave concept that is “simple” “extreme” or whatever. They are essentially the UKIP Brexiters. I guess I’m trying to avoid saying that the Remain demo particularly last week was made up of more “normal” and I’m almost scared to say it but “diverse” people. That’s far from saying that overall the numbers nationwide on each side are reflected in the size of the demos.
