THE SNP has stretched its lead over Labour in a new opinion poll
out today.
The YouGov survey puts the Nationalists nine points ahead in the
constituency vote with 39 per cent support, compared with Labour's 30
per cent, 15 per cent for the Liberal Democrats and 13 per cent for
the Tories.
But in the regional vote, the SNP lead fell from six points to
four. The Nationalists were on 31 per cent, Labour 27 per cent, the
Tories 13 per cent and the Lib Dems 11 per cent. The main reason for
the gap closing appears to be a leap in Green support from six to
nine per cent.
