  It's done using phone polls and interviews after the vote. You don't know if people are being truthful, but there's not a lot of reason to think that people would lie about how they voted shortly afterwards, at least not a statistically significant number of them.

    The fingerpointing going on is a good enough reason to obfuscate the data imo. Also, if it is used as a basis of assumptions it should have at least mention how the data was collected on what sample size. It is very easy to make a bias error. People might not be interested in the details, or it can be interpreted as sloppy journalism. Either way I'm not convinced (hence the reference to Remain).
