Less than three in 10 Scots support Nicolas Sturgeon’s plans for a new independence referendum next year, according to two new opinion polls.
A Survation survey of the Scotland in Union’s pro-British campaign found that only 29% of people want another split vote by the end of 2023, with 60% opposed.
Support for Ms. Sturgeon’s schedule fell to just 24% in another poll conducted by Panelbase for The Sunday Times.
Although a total of 55 per cent said they would support a referendum over the next five years, this is part of a tendency for Scots not to rule out another referendum in the long run, while opposing one soon.
In another blow to Ms. Sturgeon, the Panelbase poll found that support for independence was 49 percent, if the same “yes” question used in the 2014 referendum was “Should Scotland be an independent country?” She was posing.
But if asked whether or not they want to stay in the UK, support for independence has fallen to 42 per cent, according to a Survation survey.
The polls were published after the council elections, in which both the SNP and the Greens supporting the separation were successful.
However, when independent councilors were expelled, together they won only 45.6% of the vote, compared to 54.4% for pro-British parties. This was despite the fact that the Tories suffered heavy losses amid voter anger over the “party door”.
