Apologies for not covering this yesterday, but I'm sure most of you are already up to speed with it. A new Survation poll is the fifteenth in a row (or arguably sixteenth in a row depending on definition) to show a majority for independence.
Should Scotland be an independent country?
Yes 52% (-2)
No 48% (+2)
Three of the last four polling firms to report have now shown a small recent decrease in Yes support - so that might be significant, but it could still be happening by chance. The exception was of course the Panelbase poll for this blog in November showing Yes climbing to an all-time high of 56%.
Westminster voting intention:
SNP 51% (-1)
Labour 21% (+1)
Conservatives 20% (+2)
Liberal Democrats 6% (-2)
The changes here don't appear to be of any great significance, as they just revert to the numbers in the last-but-one Survation poll. Labour's second place seems to be a Survation 'house effect' - it's been seen in all of the last three Survation polls, but not in polls from other firms.
Scottish Parliament constituency ballot:
SNP 53% (-1)
Labour 20% (+2)
Conservatives 20% (+1)
Liberal Democrats 6% (-2)
Greens 1% (+1)
Scottish Parliament regional list ballot:
SNP 41% (-2)
Labour 20% (+1)
Conservatives 18% (+1)
Greens 10% (n/c)
Liberal Democrats 7% (n/c)
As I always point out, the list numbers from Survation polls need to be taken with a pinch of salt, because respondents seem to be influenced by the way the question is posed. Some pro-indy voters seem to be left with the impression that they're being asked for a second preference, thus leading to a (possible) understatement of the SNP and overstatement of the Greens.
