- Westminster voting intention: Scottish Westminster Voting Intention: SNP: 51% (+7), Labour: 25% (+2), Conservative: 13% (-6), Liberal Democrats: 6% (-4), Greens: 3% (=). Ipsos Scotland, Fieldwork 28 Nov - 5 Dec. Changes w/ 23-29 May. 1,065 respondents
- Emily Gray of Ipsos Scotland says the results: "...show an increase in both support for independence and support for the SNP. Whether this is a temporary ‘bounce’ in the wake of the recent Supreme Court judgement or a longer-lasting trend remains to be seen. Meanwhile, with the judgement narrowing the legal pathways to a second referendum, the SNP is considering treating the next General Election as a de facto referendum on independence. This is a high-risk strategy for the party, who secured 45% of the vote in 2019. However, the indication from this poll is that, at this stage at least, this is not harming their electoral chances."
