Sir Keir Starmer is the most popular politician in Scotland, according to a new poll.
The UK Labour leader, who SNP strategists hope will be a weak point for the party in the general election campaign, is the only senior politician with a net positive rating among the Scottish public.
He had a favourability rating of plus 3 under the polling by Survation. Anas Sarwar, the Scottish Labour leader, trailed behind him on minus 3.
