And a 15th consecutive poll has found another positive result for Scottish independence!! This time 56% support in a MORI/Ipsos survey, every OP poll this year supporting Scotindy! Unionists trying to comfort themselves by saying the pandemic has played to the strengths of the SNP and Nicola Sturgeon, in particular. Therefore it may change later. My take is that a rollout of vaccine is coinciding with the end of the Brexit transition period and consequently the Tories could be left with the distinct feeling of "swapping the frying-pan for the fire" next year. I predict a "flood" of additional support for Scotindy finally rising well above 60% esp when one majority opinion given in Scotland was that the governing party is widely trusted on everything while a leading opposition party up here is trusted on nothing.

I saw that reported as well. It was interesting that 25% of those polled also indicated that they did not have a settled view on whether Scotland should be independent from the UK. I would have expected the numbers to lean more for independence than they seem to do with the state of Johnson/Tories, their covid response and Brexit. If (and its a big if) Brexit doesn't go as bad as people fear, and the vaccine gets rid of Covid then I would expect to see those numbers tighten, but as it stands its still not the slam dunk that the SNP want.
