Just when the Scottish government thought things couldn't get any worse, they suddenly got better.
The Westminster and Holyrood party ratings for the 'Ipsos MORI Scotland' poll reported in the Sunday Times and Mail on Sunday at the weekend have now been published - by the polling company itself - and show the SNP ahead again for both UK General Election and Scottish Parliament voting intentions. The poll is the most recent survey of Scottish political opinion.
The poll of 1,009 Scots voters (19-23 November) shows that Westminster voting intentions amongst those certain to vote (change from 2005 General Election in brackets) are:
SNP: 34% (+16)
Lab: 32% (-8)
Con: 15% (-1)
Lib Dem: 12% (-11)
Other: 6%
Holyrood voting intentions (change on the 2007 election in brackets) are:
SNP: 36% (+3)
Lab: 32% (--)
Con: 12 (-5)
Lib Dem: 12 (-4)
SSP: 2%
Green: 3%
Other: 3% (+1)
