I would have expected the poll therefore to be used in Friday's Yes Scotland guest editorship of the Daily Record. But there has been no mention of it - just rumours about its findings on the net. Could this mean that Yes Scotland have pulled it? A possible reason for this might be that it doesn't show the widely anticipated yes lead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-47479258177126283822014-09-05T13:35:32.051+01:002014-09-05T13:35:32.051+01:00Survation have tweeted that they have a poll comin...Survation have tweeted that they have a poll coming on 11/9/14 for Daily RecordAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10678903759314268561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-71619575250957215622014-09-04T21:55:32.986+01:002014-09-04T21:55:32.986+01:00Don't get excited, Patrick - they were probabl...Don't get excited, Patrick - they were probably reacting to a flood of bets based on speculation on Twitter (of the very sort we've been indulging in here!).James Kellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-16308697413232450572014-09-04T21:49:48.022+01:002014-09-04T21:49:48.022+01:00Oh!!!
