Support for independence is split 50-50 with those backing the Union, a new poll has suggested.
A survey carried out by pollsters Ipsos Mori found that a record number of Scots are unsatisfied with Boris Johnson as Prime Minister and many believe they are worse off today than they were a year ago.
Just 12 per cent of the public believe the embattled Tory leader is doing a good job while 83 per cent do not, with the rest undecided.
