Over the last couple of week's we have three Scottish YouGov polls - two small ones based on data from the daily tracker, and one standard full sized one for Scotland on Sunday. All three showed the SNP faring badly compared to the strong levels of support they were enjoying last year.

Today we have a contrasting view from Ipsos MORI's quarterly poll of Scottish opinion. Their voting intention figures are:

Westminster: CON 17%(+2), LAB 34%(+2), LDEM 12%(nc), SNP 32%(-2)

Holyrood constituency: CON 14%(+2), LAB 29%(-3), LDEM 15%(+3), SNP 36%(nc), Grn 3%(nc)
