Polls Apart

Just a week ago, we had YouGov announcing that support for independence was down to 29%
Evidently that was an oversight, as a TNS System Three survey has pitched the figure at 38%.

At this rate, within another six weeks, we'll be at a Stalinist 98%.

The poll was taken after the voting down of the SNP's budget.
The MD of System Three suggests that this figure, the highest pro-independence response since before the onset of the financial downturn, could be a reaction to a feeling that we need more powers to sort things out in Scotland.

It might also, worryingly for the unionists, be an indication that the reductions in VAT, and handouts to the banks, have done precisely diddly for confidence in the UK government's ability to turn things around.
Taken with the YouGov poll conclusion that Salmond was deemed at least as economically competent as Gordon Brown, there appears to be some circumstantial evidence growing that the Scottish voters ain't buying the unionist mantra that Scotland is safer within the UK.
There's also the implication that the unionist parties have been damaged by the perception that they got it very badly wrong in opposing the budget two weeks ago.

Now..... it's a poll.
Just a poll.
But it's a very interesting one, and the SNP will take great heart from it.
As do I.
