    The previous poll was taken before the 3 amigos came up to Scotland too so they are a bit out of date when they are published.

    I always wonder how much faith you can put in polls when they only ask 1000 people. SNP were behind in the polls before the last Holyrood election and won a majority.

      Hahaha stop being stupid. So you dont think local produce would be cheaper? If you are going to make stuff up at least make it a bit more realistic.

          Considering the negative onslaught indeed I'd have expected a larger impact.

          And remember ICM is the 'gold standard' of polls. So a 'no' vote is in the bag. But 17% are yet to make up there mind. Now I read somewhere the 'undecided' are twice as likely to lean to yes than no. If that's true then based on a 4million turnout 'No' is 47.9%% and 'Yes' is on 52%

            I remember voting in that election. Was still registered in Scotland at the time but working in Germany. I flew over early that day so I could arrive before the polling station shut. You'll never guess who I voted for.

              I would think 95% plus of stuff sold in Scottish supermarkets is not produced locally.

                It's not in the bag, even if there were no undecided, as its a sample of 1000. It's a statistical dead heat at 51-49.

                  I read somewhere that Undecided are more likely to vote 'No' as they are the ones that'll bottle it on the day.

                  face it - the polls are all over the place.....
