The future of London rule in Scotland hangs by a THREAD tonight as fresh Panelbase polling evidence emerges that opposition to independence has PLUMMETED BY THREE PER CENT in recent days

As I mentioned yesterday, the new Sunday Times / Panelbase poll on independence is extremely encouraging - it suggests that the Yes vote has increased by 2% since the previous Panelbase poll (commissioned by Scot Goes Pop in October) and that public opinion is now essentially split down the middle, with 49% in favour of independence and 51% opposed. But one thing that appeared to be missing from the Sunday Times article was the poll result prior to the Don't Knows being stripped out. Those numbers have emerged today, and they shed fascinating light on the way in which voters have apparently changed their minds. Although the Yes vote has crept up by 1%, the real change appears to be that a substantial number of No voters have drifted to the Don't Know column. I wonder if that can be attributed to the whiff of corruption emanating from Westminster, and people beginning to question whether Scotland should be associated with the Boris circus anymore. 

Should Scotland be an independent country? (Sunday Times / Panelbase poll, 9th-12th November 2021)

Yes 45% (+1)
