3 polls tonight all put Scottish vote at 48% Yes, 52% No once don't knows stripped out [View all]

A pair of opinion polls have put support for a No vote at 52% and support for a Yes vote at 48% ahead of Thursday's independence referendum.

The figures, when undecided voters are excluded, are from a poll by ICM for The Scotsman and another poll by Survation for the Daily Mail.

The ICM poll of more than 1,000 voters found 14% were undecided, 45% backed a No vote and 41% backed a Yes vote.

The Survation poll found the 'don't knows' were at 8.3%, No was at 47.7% and Yes was at 44.1%.

Two polls last night suggested the no campaign is narrowly ahead. An Opinium/ Daily Telegraph poll showed that the No side is ahead with support among 52% of those polled. Just under half (48%) support independence. The figures apply among those who are certain to vote. If the figure includes those who have not decided how to vote, the no side is still ahead – by 49% to 45%. But the poll shows that the yes side have made up ground since the weekend when they were behind by six points in the last Opinium poll.
