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.

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.

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.

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.

A positive poll for Holyrood’s third, fourth and fifth placed parties has each gaining on May’s election, with Labour polling improving for the first time. Meanwhile, the constitutional question is stuck firmly on 52:48 for the Union.

A second poll in as many days will have had the Greens grinning from ear to ear with a record high share for the party, whilst narrow support for the Union prevails.

ComRes break ranks with every other pollster in a dramatic final poll that shows the SNP losing seats versus 2016, including key constituencies, whilst Labour have a rare increase in seats projected, and the Union firmly leads over Independence on that question.

Following just a week after the last one, ComRes continue to find SNP slippages, whilst the Greens and Labour move upwards, and the constitutional question shows the largest support for Union since December 2019.
