Scots have backed breaking away from the United Kingdom in a fifth straight independence poll as dismay was voiced by the performance of the Westminster government.
The Scottish opinion monitor - a survey of 1,210 Scots done by YouGov on behalf of the Scottish Election Study - was published on Wednesday.
The poll found that, when undecided voters were removed, 50.2 per cent backed separation from the rest of the UK in what appears to be a trend towards independence since the ruling of the UK Supreme Court that the Scottish Parliament does not have the powers to hold another vote.
