This is a gap-filler “lite” piece, in line with Ballot Box Scotland’s non-coverage policy for polls where the commissioning outlet has not published standard Holyrood VI at the same time as other VI. […]
A third poll following Sturgeon’s surprise resignation contains good tidings for the Pro-Union side of the constitutional divide, whilst still suggesting the re-election of the SNP-Green government despite a narrowing vote. […]
The first of two polls with identical fieldwork conducted right after the First Minister announced her resignation shows very little change for the SNP, but enough growth from Labour to knock the SNP down to their joint-worst seat projection of the term, whilst the Greens have their best. […]
The last poll out before Sturgeon’s shock resignation was itself quite dramatic, giving only the barest Holyrood majority for the SNP-Green government, and a stunningly high share for Labour at Westminster. […]
The earliest of three polls that all dropped within hours, a term-worst projection for the SNP is counterbalanced by Green gains, whilst Labour begin to close in on constituencies and the constitutional question remains stalemated. […]
First non-Survation poll of the year shows a snapping back to a Pro-Union lead, YouGov-worsts this term for SNP and Greens, best Labour seat projection since election, and improbably strong Alba and Reform UK figures that make the hypothetical projections quite distinct. […]
The second poll by the same pollster in quick succession finds very little different on election VI – but gives the largest lead for the Union in eight months. […]
One final bonus piece of 2022 election coverage shows just how much of a political patchwork the Scottish electorate is, with precious few areas uncomplicatedly supportive of one bloc of parties or the other. […]
Scotland continues to go through unsettled constitutional times, as the year concludes with Independence in the lead following the Supreme Court judgement. There are challenges enough to go around for both sides on this front, as Scots oppose a “de facto referendum” yet think the Scottish Government should be able to call a real one. […]
One final (hopefully) poll for 2022 bucks recent trends, giving a lead for the Union on the constitutional question and far less pain for the Conservatives than other pollsters. […]
