Third poll sample in a row puts SNP ahead

The Scottish breakdown of the latest Populus poll for the Times on Westminster voting intentions shows the SNP ahead in the third poll sample this month with 31% support to 28% for Labour.

Commenting on these findings SNP Business Convener and Westminster Leader Angus Robertson said:

"These are very good poll results for the SNP. Not only do they show that the next Westminster election is a clear two horse race between the SNP and Labour but that it is the SNP which is leading.

"Though it is a small sample it is significant and indicative of the strong trend of increased support for the SNP for both Westminster and Holyrood elections, on the back of our solid policy delivery in government.

“Maybe this explains why Labour are not only running roughshod over the people of Glasgow North East by failing to call the by-election but also running scared.”
