Latest Opinion Polls

'An average of the latest polls of Scottish voters' intentions for a Westminster election put Labour at 40 per cent, the SNP at 35 per cent, Conservatives at 11 per cent and Lib Dems at 9 per cent. This represents a remarkable 17 percentage point increase in SNP's support since the 2005 general election, when the nationalists took only six of the 59 Scottish seats at Westminster.' Andrew Bolger, Scotland Correspondent in the Financial Times, 1 st October 2007
