Three out of five Brexiteers and one in three Remainers would be happy if the British economy sustains "significant damage" in order to be proven right on Brexit, according to a YouGov poll published Tuesday.

According to the poll — which surveyed 2,043 Leave and 2,248 Remain voters between July 12-19 — 61 percent of Leavers think "significant damage" to the British economy is "a price worth paying for bringing Britain out of the European Union." Only 20 percent of Leave voters said damaging the economy was too high a price for Brexit. About 19 percent said they didn't know.

Results were different when Leave voters were asked if they personally were willing to endure economic hardship as consequence of Brexit. About 39 percent said they are happy to risk their own or their family members' jobs to take the U.K. out of the EU, while 38 percent said they would not risk their jobs.

On the Remain side, 34 percent of respondents said they would consider significant damage to the economy to be a price worth paying to keep the U.K. in the EU. About 38 percent said they would not consider damage to the economy, and 27 percent said they didn't know.

Among the Remainers, almost a fifth of respondents said significant damage to the British economy was worth teaching Brexiteers a lesson, compared to 64 percent who said it was not.

The prospect of potential negative consequences for the British economy as a result of the Brexit process has created divisions within British Prime Minister Theresa May's cabinet. Chancellor Philip Hammond, who voted Remain in last year's Brexit referendum, called for a transition period to help the U.K. adapt to its new economic reality once it formally leaves the EU in 2019, while hard Brexiteers like International Trade Secretary Liam Fox have rejected any notion of a transitional deal on free movement post-Brexit.
