Final YouGov AV poll

One more final poll for the referendum tomorrow - YouGov for the Sun have topline figures of YES 40%, NO 60%. That's in the same sort of ball park as YouGov's AV polling over the last fortnight or so, a very substantial NO lead (unless the polls are horribly, horribly wrong a NO victory appears a certainty) but not as large as suggested by ComRes and ICM.

UPDATE: The final Angus Reid poll on AV is now out, and has YES on 39%, NO on 61%
