Could the *real* support for Scottish independence be 60% or higher? The SHOCKING clue hidden in the Norstat poll's data tables - plus fresh evidence that the beleaguered Alba Party are hurtling towards TOTAL WIPEOUT next May

The data tables for the new Norstat independence poll were released yesterday - and as expected they confirm that the poll was weighted by recalled 2014 referendum result, a practice that other polling firms like Ipsos have warned could be a serious mistake due to the danger of false recall after such a long period of time.  In the video commentary below I reveal exactly what the independence results were on Norstat's unweighted numbers - and I pose the question of whether this means Yes have had a sustained lead on the ground for many years, but that fact has been effectively concealed from us by dubious polling methodology.  I also take stock of another poor poll result for Alba, which firmly suggests Alex Salmond's former party is heading for zero seats next May.

The Scot Goes Pop fundraiser for 2025, launched eight long months ago in January, has been inching closer to its target figure...but can it get there?  Many thanks to everyone who has donated so far.  If you'd like to help Scot Goes Pop stay afloat during this prolonged transitional period while I seek to find out whether video blogging is viable as an alternative funding model, card donations are welcome HERE.    Or, if you prefer, direct donations can be made via PayPal.  My PayPal email address is:  jkellysta@yahoo.co.uk

Another way of helping is by subscribing to my YouTube channel (which I must stress is completely free!).  I need to reach at least 1000 subscribers and I'm currently on 620.
