New Poll: SNP Majority There to Be Won

Momentum Behind Fresh Start with Independence

A new poll has projected the SNP winning a majority of seats in the upcoming Scottish Parliament election on 8th May.

The MRP poll from The Times/Stonehaven found the SNP on course for 67 seats, with the Labour Party in Scotland winning just 15 seats - a distant third behind Reform UK on 25 seats.

This new polling comes after two polls last week found the SNP within touching distance of a majority with support for independence surging too. 

The Find Out Now poll commissioned by The National showed the SNP leading on both constituency and regional ballots - a resounding vote of confidence in John Swinney’s leadership on the NHS, the cost of living crisis, and giving Scotland the chance to decide it's own future in a referendum on independence. 

The More in Common poll similarly demonstrated that an SNP majority in May is within touching distance. That polling found the SNP is on course to return 64 MSPs, just one shy of a majority.

"It is clear that the strong leadership of John Swinney on cost of living and the ongoing improvement in public services is recognised by the electorate.

"People here in Angus and across Scotland can also see that only the SNP has Scotland's interests and priorities at heart, while Labour and the Tories face collapse and Reform UK double down on their incredibly damaging plans at the UK level.

"People are tired of Westminster failure and chaos - with Brexit Britain in terminal decline, independence offers the fresh start that Scotland needs.

"This landmark poll shows momentum is firmly with the SNP as Scottish voters unite behind a majority."
