Nineteenth subsample in a row puts the SNP ahead

A new Britain-wide YouGov poll is out today, so this may be a good moment to round-up the Scottish subsamples that have been published since my last update.  There have only been a couple...

Ipsos-Mori: SNP 43%, Labour 24%, Conservatives 23%, Liberal Democrats 9%

YouGov: SNP 36%, Labour 28%, Conservatives 25%, Liberal Democrats 5%, UKIP 4%, Greens 1%

That means nineteen subsamples in a row have put the SNP in an outright lead.  Just the usual reminder - any individual subsample should not be regarded as reliable, but an aggregate/average of a large number of subsamples can give you a rough indication of what is happening.  The sheer consistency of the SNP lead in subsamples since early September is probably indicative of quite a healthy SNP advantage on the ground, and is very much in line with the message from full-scale Scottish polls (although admittedly we haven't had any of those for a few weeks).

Are there any clouds on the horizon?  Obviously the hysteria over Alex Salmond's new TV show has only just happened, so we'll have to wait and see how that plays out.  It goes without saying that the criticisms of Salmond are hypocritical bilge given that leading politicians from all major parties have been willingly interviewed on the same channel, but on the other hand it is unusual (probably unprecedented) for Nicola Sturgeon to put out a personal statement distancing herself from something Salmond has done.  She and her advisers may have thought that was a safety-first approach, but I suspect the truly dangerous thing is for parties to allow themselves to look divided.  However, it's a very polite division on a relatively minor issue, so in spite of the mainstream media's valiant demands that their readers and viewers should care about this, I expect the likelihood is that we'll look back on it as a 72-hour wonder.

  1. Hi James. Looked at the YouGov tables via the UKPR site link and the first one gave "Headline Voting Intention" and 42/28/25 SNP/Lab/Con split. Not sure if I've interperated it properly so obviously will stand corrected! Cheers.

    1. No, the 42% is for 'others' - which breaks down as 36% SNP, 4% UKIP and 1% Greens. (The missing 1% will be down to rounding.)

  2. I still get shocked when I see UKIP listed in Scottish voting intentions. I do realise I shouldn’t be. But I just hate to see it there.

    1. UKIP are the most progressive party since 1975. Without them we would have remained in the vile corrupt Neo Liberal anti working class EU. Their purpose is now. You should now be concerned about getting rid of the right wing Tartan Tories and supporting Labour.

    2. What kind of nugget spends all their time on a website about Poll's and Voting , putting up snidey messages to every comment.

      Have you actually got nothing better to do than look like an anonymous arsehole.

      What will you say to yourself when you are on your deathbed....oooh I annoyed a few folk...

      What a great epitaph. I can only imagine you have some mental illness or are idly employed in a council admin job somewhere. Probably both.

    1. Well GWC2 perhaps you are not aware that the name Cheyne is English,and for a check on history will soon confirm this for you,in fact even time team and antiques road show mention their castles,maybe self determination of ones life does not aquate to hate speech or incitement and intent towards malicious racesism,many English,Welsh,Irish,American,polish,Norwegian live and work in Scotland.i apologise for all the others I have not mentioned as there are so many,and we vote in Scotland by being democractic.not because we are being intimated or brow beaten or by someone trying to cause hatred in a peaceful country.and I may add my partner is also English who,s family have a coat of arms and family crest.there are many English here in scotland,and many more still moving here to date.scotland and its people are welcoming and friendly.if anyone has a problem here,I would suggest that perhaps they themselfs are not able to fit into society.
