A poll for Fetter Together shows that 51% of Scottish voters would back independence if given a chance in another referendum. Significantly fewer, 43%, would vote No, with 6% undecided.

The poll comes after a Supreme Court ruling determined that the Scottish Parliament cannot legislate for a new referendum on independence. Some suggest that this has galvanised support for Independence.

If there was a legal referendum tomorrow with the question “Should Scotland be an independent country?”, how would you vote?

Answer	Result *
Yes	51%
No	43%
Don’t know	6%

Those who voted Remain in the EU strongly support (59%) Independence, as well as younger age groups:

Age group	Yes*	No*	Don’t know*
18-24	69%	21%	10%
25-34	64%	29%	8%
35-44	59%	33%	8%
45-54	49%	47%	4%
55-64	44%	49%	7%
