It's very likely that a significant portion of leave voters were fuelled by casual racism but no one is saying "all" or even "most" or "half". Just a significant portion.
Say about 3% of the Leave campaigners are racist, that was enough to tip the result, even though 97% had other reasons to vote out.

A poll was taken with "are you racist" to conclude the 3%?

I was doing a fake estimate.

Sadly it's probably about 10% but I was being generous.
