Support for the SNP is "well below" the 50 per cent benchmark that Nicola Sturgeon has suggested could trigger independence negotiations at the next general election, a poll has found.
A survey published today by Survation found 43 per cent of voters in Scotland would back the Nationalists if a Westminster ballot was held tomorrow, a drop of three points from August.
The poll, commissioned by True North, puts support for Labour on 29 per cent, an increase of three, while the Conservatives are unchanged on 18 per cent.
