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.
Westminster
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: 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.
2021 in Review: Parliamentary Polling
The months following an election are never the busiest time for polling, but what there is to end the year finds everyone else at Holyrood gaining at least a little at the Conservatives’ expense.
Poll Analysis: YouGov 18th – 22nd of November 2021
YouGov’s first post-election poll has bad news for the Conservatives but happier tidings for the Greens and Lib Dems, alongside some very interesting findings on a multi question constitutional referendum.
Poll Analysis: Panelbase 9th – 12th of November 2021
Though polling hasn’t yet strayed much from May’s election results, the oscillation here gives strong figures for the SNP, Greens and Lib Dems, whilst showing the Conservatives in their weakest position of the term thus far.
Poll Analysis: Panelbase 6th – 10th of September 2021
In a poll that slipped under the radar like an Australian nuclear submarine, the Lib Dems may be seeing faint stirrings of recovery, whilst it’s Brexit 2: Those Numbers Boogaloo as the constitutional question seemingly settles into a 52:48 split in favour of the union.
