Almost nine in 10 Scots think that economic conditions are worse than they were a year ago.
But while two thirds reckon economic conditions will get worse in the next 12 months, this figure has dropped from 81% expressing the same sentiment in November 2022, according to the latest survey from the David Hume Institute and the Diffley Partnership.
On the other hand, 55% of people believe Scotland is heading in the wrong direction - the first time a majority have expressed this opinion since the Understanding Scotland series began.
