Labour falls behind SNP in Scotland, new poll suggests

Savanta’s poll also suggests the SNP, unchanged at 37 per cent, is ahead of Labour in the Holyrood constituency voting intention, with the latter at 32 per cent, down three points on the last poll.

The poll puts the Conservatives on 16 per cent, up two points, while the Liberal Democrats are on 9 per cent, up one point, with 6 per cent saying they would vote for others, up one point.

The Holyrood list vote was much closer, with the SNP on 29 per cent (down two points), Labour on 28 per cent (down one point) and the Conservatives on 16 per cent, also down one point.

The Greens were on 11 per cent, up two points, the Lib Dems on 11 per cent, also up two points, and support for “other” was at 5 per cent, up one point.

Analysis by Prof Curtice suggested that if these results were reflected in the election, the SNP would remain the largest party in Holyrood with 46 MSPs.

The Labour Party would be a close second with 37 MSPs, and the Conservatives would be reduced to 21 MSPs.
