Monday 8 April 2019 18:06, UK
Most Britons think a no-deal Brexit is unlikely - but many remain worried by the prospect of leaving the EU without a deal this Friday, according to a Sky Data poll.
Six in 10 (62%) think the UK is unlikely to leave the EU without a deal this week, while 27% think it is likely to happen - 11% admit they don't know.
Parliament has repeatedly rejected the idea of leaving the EU without a deal, and the prime minister has ruled it out - but unless a deal is struck to further delay Brexit in the coming days, a no-deal Brexit will happen automatically on 12 April.
Just under half (48%) are worried by the prospect of no-deal happening on Friday, including 36% who are "very worried".
One in three (33%) are excited (including 19% "very excited"), with 16% neither worried nor excited, and 4% unsure.
