SNP claims tide turning in favour of a Yes vote

THE campaign for a Yes vote in the independence referendum has hailed a new poll as representing "the tide beginning to turn" as it recorded a seven-point shift in opinion over the winter.

Ipsos MORI has recorded support for a Yes vote up from 30% to 34% since October, while backing for a No vote has gone down three points to 55%.

That is still a 21-point lead for those backing the Union, but a significant narrowing of the gap from 28 points in October.
