EDINBURGH – A third of Scots support the country leaving the United Kingdom, according to the latest poll.
The same survey also found that a third of voters in England and Wales back independence for Scotland.
The YouGov poll for the Sun showed 33 per cent of Scots who were questioned backed independence, while 53 per cent were against, with 14 per cent undecided.
Among voters in England and Wales, again 33 per cent said they backed Scotland leaving the UK.
But the number of people opposed to this was lower than north of the border, with 37 per cent of English and Welsh voters saying “no” when asked if they supported Scottish independence. A total of 30 per cent of those questioned were undecided on the issue.
A YouGov poll in April found 28 per cent of those surveyed backed independence, with 57 per cent against. – (PA)
