2 stats from the previous Norstat #indyref2 poll in May that should make unionist teeth chatter: Unweighted figures: ➡️ Yes 60%, No 40% Those who did not vote in 2014: ➡️ Yes 70%, No 30% That’s why weighting is so important.

SNP got 38.2% of constituency votes, higher than the 32.2% for Labour in the Westminster general election that gave it a Commons landslide. Higher than the 35.3% Labour got in Scotland in 2024. But the SNP victory is a 'fluke' that means the system needs changed while Starmer has a mandate.

Unfortunately we have no control over our pricing. Scotland is a colony. London licenses our resources to private industry and keeps the money. Our price is then artificially inflated to match England, otherwise their industry would migrate north of the border. Scottish independence is vital.

As you may know, many #indyref2 polls reweight their findings to reflect the 2014 result (11+ years ago!) thus resurrecting many deceased No voters. This chart shows figures reweighted to amend that flaw. We see a gradual increase in the Yes trend line to 53%.
Line chart showing the % Yes vote since September 23 with figures reweighted based on current split between 2014 Yes/ No and non-voter quotas rather than frozen eleven years ago. So it reflects variable mortality between older No voters and younger Yes voters. The trend shows a gradual increase from 51% to 53%.
