Ignoring the polls and looking at friends and various sources like social media, I would say its more of a 60/40 majority for independence, if not bigger.

When multiple polls match up they are usually fairly accurate though, but get the feeling there is not something right with them at the moment :P

I don't see it. Nothing at all has indicated anything like that.

The way I see it. The don't knows hold the key. If you're a don't know at this point the likelihood is you'll stick with what you know.

I predict something like 55/45 for No.

Polls have shown that the youth of Scotland are behind the YES campaign with more middle aged and older Scots siding with the No. That's why there's much more noise on social media and forums in favour of YES than No.

Not too long now until we know for sure what the people of Scotland really think.

It will be a YES.

That is probably it...

We will know for sure by 7am Friday morning, if not earlier. Won't be staying up to find out though. I'll wait until the sexy lady on my phone, who reads the news and weather to me in the morning as part of the briefing alarm, informs me.

Scotland Against Vilification Vote Yes

The irony

I will be heart broken if we lose to the yes vote. I cannot believe how anyone can believe Salmond, and his lies. I will be praying extra hard till the last vote comes in and the United Kingdom wins this debate, It would be a disaster for Scotland.

If Scotland vote YES hopefully it will drive the rest of the UK to demand more autonomy, the wastelands will bloom again....
Come on Scotland, the rest of us are depending on your YES vote to rid us of the centralisation that is London.

It's going to be a massive win for the NO camp, you watch.

The polls show that a majority of 19-45 year old males will be voting yes - all the other age groups (including female voters) have shown a majority voting No, including 16-18 year olds....

Reading Murray's tweets, I think he is now on the yes side. In which case might be the only time I agree with and like him. Ironic really, that it takes the Scottish referendum to make me like him a bit.

How could the No campaign be positive about not changing? Comparatively speaking it was a positive campaign, by pointing out the negatives of change.

The yestapo were out and about last night in some areas.

It seems to me that most of the bile and vitriol has emanated from the Yes side who've consistently responded to questions they can't/won't answer with accusation of 'bullying' and personal/corporate/nationalist attacks dressed up in one form or another. The SNP is characterised by this sort of behaviour and God knows why anyone buys into it. It's all very well detesting the status quo but the Scots need to be very careful what they wish for now. This isn't the hyped up prelude to an England V. Scotland match, it's going to be a life changing decision if the vote is Yes and although I'm not going to lose any sleep over the outcome I'd feel desperately sorry for those who want to remain in the UK if Salmond's cronies get their way and wind up running the show. IMHO they're a dangerous bunch of chancers who've started to believe they're own highly emotive and selective nationalist rhetoric.

I'm sure Scotland will be a much happier place with people like that intimidating those who don't share their views.

It's just the sort of thing Salmond would try to accuse the 'English' of doing to his proud Scottish nation...
