Support for Welsh independence has fallen back to its lowest level in three years, a St David's Day poll for Wales carried out by pollsters YouGov has shown.
A poll of more than 1,000 people suggests that just 18% said they would vote for Wales to be an independent country if a referendum was held tomorrow. Our question was 'Should Wales be an independence country'. The last time support for independence was this low was in 2019.
However the cause of the drop in independence does not appear to be a significant increase in support for staying the union. The YouGov poll shows the percentage of people saying they would vote to stay in the UK is fairly flat at 55%. In contrast the change seems to be driven by an increasing number of people saying they don't know how they would vote, which has risen to 16%. Just 4% wouldn't say.
