Another Scottish Independence poll showing a small lead for Yes after turnout adjustment (please read the detail). Despite what the X abuse over the weekend would suggest, we don't have an opinion on the matter.
Proud to say we're cleaner than 79% of other sites tested. There are always improvements to be made of course, and we'll be actively looking into it.
