Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

Latest Panelbase poll shows 'Yes' vote increasing - Yes 47%, No 53%.

Times (behind Paywall)

On the pro-independence websites, it's quite amusing to see people say "well, the margin of error is 3%, so that means the voting could be 50/50". It also means it could be 44/56......

Strangely enough, only the results for the headline question have been released, and the rest will be released tomorrow - I don't know if it's connected, but this is the same polling company that gives consistently higher (than the other polling organisations) results for the yes vote, and whose questioning methodology was queried on its previous poll by having two very, how can I put it, 'leading*" questions before the main question.

*Q1. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: "Scotland could be a successful, independent country?

Q2. Who do you trust to take the best decisions for Scotland: the Scottish Government or the Westminster Government?
Here's a fairly 'independent' (see what I did there?) view on the poll - whatscotlandthinks
