SNP storm ahead in Scotland

The SNP continue to drip-drip the findings of their YouGov poll into the public arena - today's press release has the constituency voting intentions for the Scottish Parliament, and show a daunting SNP lead over Labour. Topline voting intentions are CON 13%, LAB 25%, LDEM 14%, SNP 44% - a nineteen point lead for the SNP.

If repeated at the next Scottish elections this would produce a stunning landslide for the SNP on the constituency seats. On a uniform swing they would take 57 seats to Labour's 8, with 6 for the Liberal Democrats and 2 for the Conservatives. Of course, they haven't released the data on how people would cast their second vote were Labour would pick up a large number of seats due to SNP domination of the constituency MSPs, so we can't project an overall result based on these figures.
