The findings of this poll are not surprising for events in Scotland. The most notable figure is Yousaf’s rating among SNP voters. Back in 2010/11, one of the reasons many bet and predicted the SNP would do better than the polls indicated was Iain Gray’s ratings. Yousaf needs to improve his ratings if the SNP is to retain power at Holyrood.
Earlier this week I said we could see the peak of the SNP, I’m not sure about the peak of Scottish Nationalism. To paraphrase Gerry Adams in the IRA, Scottish Nationalism has not gone away. YouGov said ‘Support for Scottish independence also remains the same as in last month’s poll, with 46% saying they would vote Yes and 54% No.’ There is a clear conscious uncoupling between supporters of Scottish Independence and The SNP.
