Another dire poll for Labour suggests Anas Sarwar will struggle to make it into Bute House, whilst Reform continue to surge, and a rebuke to the idea of Alba suddenly gaining.
Survation
Poll Analysis: Survation 1st – 15th of November 2024
Another poll showing Labour losing ground compared to the summer, with corresponding shoots of growth for the political right, and the big constitutional question still sitting too close for anybody’s comfort.
Poll Analysis: Survation 10th – 13th of September 2024
A second Survation poll in as many weeks, but commissioned by a firm on the other side of the constitutional aisle to the last, should put the “polling only says what the people paying for it want!” gang’s gas at a peep.
Poll Analysis: Survation 27th – 29th of August 2024
The second poll since the General Election suggests that the three big parties are set to suffer at Holyrood, including the worst figures for Conservatives this term, whilst the three smaller parties (including new-ish kids on the block Reform UK) make significant gains.
BBS EXCLUSIVE Poll Analysis: Survation 21st – 25th of June 2024 (Constitutional Questions)
Scotland’s been stuck in a constitutional binary since 2014, but is it really that simple? From asking voters about it in a range of different ways, the answer sort of is… yes? It is? Labour may be on track to win big, but their stated position of more powers is easily the least popular constitutional outcome.
BBS EXCLUSIVE Poll Analysis: Survation 21st – 25th of June 2024
With just one week left to go until the General Election, Labour are on track to win big at Westminster for the first time in nearly 15 years, whilst Reform UK eat into the Conservative vote. Meanwhile, Ballot Box Scotland positions on democratic reform are completely and utterly vindicated, with overwhelming public support.
Poll Analysis: Survation 23rd – 27th of May 2024
The first full Scotland-only poll of the general election campaign will put even more of a spring in Scottish Labour’s step, but this isn’t the start John Swinney will have wanted to his time as First Minister.
Poll Analysis: Survation 23rd – 25th of January 2024
A second January poll covering the same dates gives almost identical results, though with the strongest Labour seat projection since BBS was launched in 2018.
Poll Analysis: Survation 15th – 18th of August 2023
Labour’s best poll by every measure since the Independence referendum will be unwelcome reading for the SNP, whilst the Conservatives suffer their own mid-term blues as the pollster takes a flight of fancy with Reform UK.
Poll Analysis: Survation 23rd – 28th of June 2023
If you were expecting the bad polling news to continue for the SNP, you would be correct. Labour continue to inch closer to first place on all votes, whilst Independence support also takes a slight dip.
