YouGov poll tonight for The Sun/The Times.

Murdoch hasn't tweeted a spoiler which might suggest it's not to his liking. Alternatively tomorrow might be the day that The Sun in Scotland comes out supporting Independence and has a nice juicy poll to hammer the point home. The latter is out of the control of Murdoch, YouGov are a reputable company that won't produce a loaded poll to suit the political motivations of the client.

Still I imagine the timing of the Yes pronouncement will be coordinated to have the biggest impact to give a positive news cycle for Yes. When The Sun backed the Conservatives for the 2010 General Election they did it the day after Gordon Brown's speech to the Labour Conference, which was otherwise well received, to kill any positive press he would have gotten.

This is the a card we presume Yes have up their sleeve it's just a question of when it's deployed.
