Humza Yousaf has a narrow lead over Kate Forbes in the SNP leadership race, according to the first poll of party members since Nicola Sturgeon announced her decision to stand down.
But the survey by Savanta also found a third of Nationalists are still undecided on who to support when voting opens on March 13.
The poll found 32 per cent of SNP members were undecided, while 31 per cent were backing health secretary Yousaf, 25 per cent supporting finance secretary Forbes and 11 per cent opting for Ash Regan.
