Polling was conducted after Scottish Labour's conference and the inevitable media push, vote is holding up pretty well. Be interesting to see next polling figures after the GERS figures were released, and again, the inevitable media push. The polling is so consistent now though that this is looking like it's happening. I'm still expecting SNP to be somewhere between 20 and 30 seats but the more the polls stay static the more confident I get. Still plenty to happen though- TV debates, whether or not Miliband rules out TV deal, manifestos, etc. As commentators rightly point out though, if you voted Yes in September, why would you even bother voting Unionist in May?

Im just hoping the SNP manifesto is very clear about three things:

1. The party still believes in independence.

2. But there will be no push for a referendum in the next parliament - an exit from the EU will trigger a snap referendum however.

3. The party's core policy for the next parliament is to demand what was promised in the referendum campaign: home rule or federalism.

I think if the SNP do that, they shore up as much as possible of the 45% that voted Yes. Might be more, but the core vote will deliver a massive win in May.

Poll looks good.

Holding up with 8 weeks to go.

Gerry Hasan's tweeting some interesting stuff - 85% Yes voters now back the SNP. 7% of No voters backing them.

What next for the press to bombard Jockland wth after Murphy, Labour, NHS figures? Guessing GERS figures. On a special note, delightful to see Murphy's rating down 7% too from February.

Still tons of work to be done though for anything like this to be reality. And still expecting the numbers to squeeze at somepoint.

Yep. But the longer the polls stay static the more difficult it is to see what Labour can do to stop this. They've spent so long digging this trench, hard to see how they get out of it. GERS figures might make a difference but really, we've been through the GERS debate in the referendum so it's nothing new to voters. Manifestos might spring a surprise but it looks like the constitution is now the de-facto faultline. Devo max and home rule now looking like it might be Labour's last stand if they ever had the balls.

If those numbers are correct, that would mean 42% of the electorate back SNP, while 58% of the electorate back all the other parties combined.

That's surprising! I'd never have thought as much as 15% of Yes voters would be sensible, or at the very least be able to think for themselves. Edited by Scunnered
