A new opinion poll on Scottish independence has found the no vote back in the lead at 53% of voters, suggesting the sudden surge in backing for independence has subsided.

Only days after a spate of polls suggested the referendum race was neck and neck, the Survation poll for the Daily Record has found that the no vote is now at 53%, giving the pro-UK campaign a six point gap over yes.

Yes may be mayhem, close No may be worse

Election fraud?

No sarcasm, not up to speed on Scotland.

NO VOTE?

What's this have to do with Obama's senate career?

The more you listen to Alex Salmon the more he sounds like Mao Tse Tung....or Harry Reid.

Why don't we tell the Scots to shove off!
I don’t know whether Scotland will vote to become independent. I’m pretty sure that if it doesn’t the ‘No’ campaign’s victory will be narrow, another plebiscite will be held within five or ten years, and there will be further self-serving mischief, strife and instability until the separatists get their way.

Appears that the Scottish voters have grown a little too comfortable with sucking off of the UK government teat. Reminds me of another country, whose name escapes me at the moment . . . .

Aww, i thought there’d be fireworks.

Lack of MSM polls is perplexing, especially considering the hyperactive London press.

It's beyond my comprehension why the Scots would give up their pretty good deal with England and want to join the EU. The EU and its bankers have destroyed everything they've touched.

And the EU? Once a country gets in, they can never leave. The bankers own them.

Like always, they decide to take the blue pill and go back to sleep.

The Quebec separatists kept trying and losing. Eventually they just gave up.

FREEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSTTTTTUUUUUUUUUUUUUUFFFFFFFFffffffff!

I sure as hell wouldn’t want to live in an SNP-dominated Scotland.

They should take a county by county result and let the parts that vote No stay in the U.K. That is what was going to happen to Quebec if they had voted to leave Canada.

Wallace would be ashamed.

Well, maybe someone down here should launch a real Texas independence movement

What I heard is the reason for the question is economic, should Scotland go down with the Euro and EU debt, or survive with their Pound Sterling, and cope with the inefficiency of exchange between two financial systems.

Weeel now, I ken that the canny Scots are scrambling the polls to make a few pounds on the market and currency bourses.

And it does na harm to tease the Sassenachs.

FREEDOM!
