A new survey by Lord Ashcroft finds support for Scottish independence from the UK sinking to 56 percent no to 44 percent yes, down from 51 No – 49 Yes in April 2021, the Scotsman reports .
“To the four prime ministers who have quit Downing Street since Nicola Sturgeon took up residence at Bute House, the First Minister must have seemed enviably immune to the laws of political gravity. If those laws now seem to be reasserting themselves, my latest poll of over 2,000 Scots helps explain,” wrote Lord Ashcroft in a press release. “If we see an overall theme here, could it be that a party claiming to be uniquely in tune with Scottish people is losing touch? If gravity is finally doing what it does, Sturgeon and the SNP seem to be giving it a helping hand.”
