SNP trails Labour by 10 points

A second opinion poll in 24 hours is showing the SNP trailing Labour by 10 points in the run-up to next year’s Scottish Parliament elections, as ministers consider dropping plans to legislate for an independence referendum which seems doomed to failure.

The latest poll from TNS-BMRB, formerly System Three, sees Labour down four points on 42% for the constituency vote, but still giving them a 10-point lead over the SNP, who flatlined on their July figure.
