In reply to the discussion: Scottish referendum predictions thread. [View all]muriel_volestrangler
(101,306 posts)22. YouGov post-voting internet poll: 54% No, 46% Yes
YouGov predicts that No has won Scotlands referendum with 54% of the vote
YouGov bases its prediction on the responses of 1,828 people after they voted today, together with those of 800 people who had already voted by post. Todays respondents had previously given their voting intention earlier this week. By recontacting them, we could assess any last-minute shift in views. Todays responses indicate that there has been a small shift on the day from Yes to No, and also that No supporters were slightly more likely to turn out to vote.

No prediction on total percentage, but I think no will win out narrowly.

How do you account for the fact that the NO won in a lot of SNP-voting areas?
