SNP meltdown as TWO polls find Scots would vote AGAINST independence and just a third believe Nicola Sturgeon has been honest in Alex Salmond row.
- Two separate polls have found majority of Scots support staying in the union
- Major setback for Nicola Sturgeon as she pushes for a re-run of 2014 referendum
- Large proportion do not believe she has been honest in row with Alex Salmond
The SNP's meltdown gathered pace today as two polls found Scots would reject independence in a referendum - with Nicola Sturgeon hugely damaged by her public war with Alex Salmond.
A majority said they backed the union in separate surveys after a long run of results suggesting separatists would win a new vote north of the border.
Savanta Comres research for Scotland on Sunday gave a 52-48 per cent margin for 'no', excluding those who said they were not sure. Meanwhile, a Panelbase poll for the Sunday Times gave a 51-49 per cent split, and suggested just a third believe she has been entirely honest about in the spat with Mr Salmond.
The findings will cause fresh panic in the SNP, and are a boost for Boris Johnson after growing alarm about Ms Sturgeon's drive to break up the UK.
