Do you think Cher deserved to be in the bottom two on Sunday?

No opened at 83% on day one and settled at 79% seven months later — a 4-point drift, nothing close to a contest. Across 4,244 votes and 199 days, No's share never dipped below 79%. This wasn't a comeback story; it was a verdict delivered in the first 24 hours and reconfirmed every day after.

The stability cuts across every slice of the electorate. Men and women both broke hard for No. Non-fans, who cast almost every vote in this poll, landed at the same lopsided ratio as everyone else. Britain, Ireland and the US — the top three countries by volume — all leaned No too, meaning geography changed nothing about the outcome.

• Day-one margin held · No led 83% on day 1, still 79% on day 199.
• No lead changes · One option led for all 199 days, zero turning points.
• Gender split · Both men and women voted No by roughly 3-to-1.
• Geography agreed · UK, Ireland and US — the top 3 countries — all leaned No.
