THE last YouGov poll of the Scottish independence referendum has suggested the No campaign has edged ahead with 54% of the vote compared to 46% of Scots voting Yes.
YouGov bases its prediction on the responses of 1,828 people after they voted today, together with those of 800 people who had already voted by post. Today’s respondents had previously given their voting intention earlier this week. By recontacting them, we could assess any last-minute shift in views.

Good for the Scots...good for Britain...good for the Western world.
based on what I heard on BBC5, it sounds like they don’t expect to get actual results for a couple of hours.

I called it 55-45 earlier.
0130 hrs NY time as per the BBC
I was hoping for a split, just because it would be interesting to watch. Oh well. Back to the normal international news of terrorists and diseases.
What a relief! Hope it holds.
Agree. As I’ve said before, the only reasons to vote yes are ignorance and/or emotion. Independence would not be good for Scotland in the long run by any objective analysis.
First results to be released at 1 AM UK time, so in about an hour and some change.
Probably longer if (as has been reported) there has been a very high turnout. Takes longer to count...
Wait! CNN announced that it was 58-54 going in favor of “Yes.”
Save England ! Vote YES !
Too bad. Not in an Anglish mood tonight...
With 112% of the vote counted, we call Scotland for the “Yes” vote!
Seems like Barry’s Chicago-style politics are played everywhere.
wait ....
you might be right.
Did Valerie and Axelrod get called in to organize the correct voter count !
That's what we do here.
112% voter turnout? Impressive!
