Scottish voting intentions for next UK general election (Survation):
SNP 38% (+2)
Labour 33% (-1)
Conservatives 15% (-1)
Liberal Democrats 8% (-)
Although this is moderately good news for the SNP and bad news for Labour, the big caveat is that Survation have tended to be one of the more favourable pollsters for the SNP since Humza Yousaf was elected leader, so there’s no guarantee that another firm polling at the same time would even put the SNP ahead, let alone as much as five points ahead. Nevertheless, this is the biggest SNP lead in any Survation poll for around ten months, so it’s not impossible that it’s picking up a genuine – if modest – recovery.
