An extremely delayed release of data for this poll means this is an extremely light-touch piece, published on the 28th of August only so there is no gap in my record.
Holyrood
Poll Analysis: ComRes 23rd – 28th of June 2022
As the First Minister fires (or, perhaps, misfires) the starting gun for a prospective second Independence referendum, polling finds the constitutional question remains firmly stuck on an almost even split. Labour meanwhile continue to cement their position as second most popular party ahead of beleaguered Conservatives.
Poll Analysis: YouGov 18th – 23rd of May 2022
Slightly delayed coverage of a poll that continues to show positive figures for the SNP-Green government, whilst Labour cement their current second place against struggling Conservatives. The unsettled constitutional question begins to look more settled this time, with figures fitting to the 2014 status quo.
Poll Analysis: Panelbase 26th – 29th of April 2022
A no-frills analysis piece with no actual analysis, just to make sure there’s no gap in the record! (This is due to full publication of the poll data taking a very long time, and being consumed by local election coverage.)
Poll Analysis: ComRes 26th of April – 3rd of May 2022
On the eve of local elections, the Conservatives’ worst poll since last year’s Holyrood ballot doesn’t bode well for Douglas Ross. Labour show their strongest second place in recent months, whilst Greens return to a record high. The Lib Dems reach their highest list vote of the term, contrasting with the SNP’s lowest.
Poll Analysis: BMG 25th – 31st of March 2022
A third pollster in a row suggests Labour are more popular than the Conservatives, whilst finding the worst SNP figures yet since last year’s election. As has been the norm lately, the balance on the constitutional question continues to tilt in the Union’s favour.
BBS EXCLUSIVE Poll Analysis: Survation 24th – 28th of March 2022
BBS’ first ever poll finds Labour’s best polling of the term so far, putting them well clear of the Conservatives in both parliaments. The constitutional question continues to tilt narrowly towards the Union, whilst questions on the voting system show strong support for PR at Westminster and ending Scotland’s odd “three systems, one country” status.
Poll Analysis: ComRes 10th – 16th of March 2022
A third ComRes in a row continues to show a close contest for second place at Holyrood, this time to Labour’s narrow advantage, and still strong Green figures. The constitutional question remains tight but with a Union lead.
Poll Analysis: ComRes 24th – 28th of February 2022
A best-ever poll for the Greens accompanies a worst of the term list figure for the SNP, whilst the Conservatives bounce back from such a low in January’s poll, and the Union squeaks a narrow lead in a constitutional dispute that still remains too close to call.
Poll Analysis: ComRes 14th – 18th of January 2022
The first poll of 2022 is both oddly boring yet intriguing. Though the Conservatives add a poor Scottish poll to their poor GB-wide trends, Labour don’t benefit at all, with the Lib Dems instead gaining. The constitution remains evenly split, whilst voters are unconvinced on adding Devo Max to the mix.
