A new poll suggests Labour is on course to lose half its 40 Scottish seats at Westminster in May, although the party has cut the SNP lead from 17 percentage points in November to 10.
The Panelbase poll published yesterday put general election voting intentions for the SNP on 41 per cent and Labour on 31 per cent, with the Conservatives on 14 per cent, Ukip on 7 per cent and the Liberal Democrats on 3 per cent.
Ivor Knox of Panelbase said: “The SNP lead is somewhat lower than our last poll but is still in double digits, and the key seems to be Yes voters lining up behind the party.”
The figures also suggest the Lib Dems could lose all but two of their 11 seats and the Conservatives could gain a second Scottish MP, according to a Sunday Times analysis of the poll.
On these figures, the SNP could increase its number of Westminster seats from six to 35.
