Well, I suppose you can CLAIM the moral high ground if you "win" a poll. Unfortunately for your case, that also kind of means that the moral high ground shifts from Tory to Labour to coalition to Tory/DUP when we have elections. Additionally, 38% of the electorate claiming the moral high ground on the basis of one yes-no question on a scrap of paper presented to a largely ignorant country? Really? Finally, can you demonstrate that you won the moral high ground after your "side" told the electorate the unvarnished truth about what brexit really means for the future of this country, and did not use any lies on buses or racist posters on billboards to make its case?

I have a feeling that there is no moral high ground here to be claimed. It's an illusion.
