  Political parties' opinion polling is probably the least reliable way of gauging this, since the Conservative party is at least notionally very pro-business, was divided on the issue of Brexit and its Leave faction made numerous claims that leaving would benefit trade with the wider world, and (outside Scotland) the major opposition parties have been in total disarray for the last couple of years for unrelated reasons. More reliable indications would be that 48% of people voted Remain, and a non-trivial percentage of those that voted Leave did so because they believed claims that disengaging from the EU would allow the UK to pursue more free trade arrangements than before.
