Panelbase poll shows SNP ahead
There is a new Scottish voting intention poll in the Sunday Times by Panelbase. Topline figures are:
Holyrood Constituency: CON 13%, LAB 37%, LDEM 8%, SNP 37% Holyrood Regional: CON 11%, LAB 32%, LDEM 7%, SNP 37%, Green 5%
The figures are almost the mirror image of the YouGov poll last week - both have Labour and the SNP pretty much neck and neck in constituency support, but Panelbase have the SNP with a decent lead in the regional vote, which would leave them the largest party in the Scottish Parliment.
In terms of who Panelbase are - they are an online company, who seem perfectly kosher, but seem to have a background in consumer polling rather than political work. In terms of whether the poll is politically weighted, turnout weighted, how the questions were asked, etc, we don't yet know.
