Thursday, September 18
13:18 GMT:

The final poll of the Scottish referendum campaign shows “No” on 53 percent and “Yes” on 47 percent, a slight strengthening of the No lead.

The same pollster, Ipsos Mori, in a poll for STV issued on Wednesday night showed only a two-point lead for “No”, but this was based on earlier field work.

All the leading pollsters have now issued final polls suggesting a “No” win by 53 percent to 47 percent, or 52 percent to 48 percent, but Labour officials remain cautious, saying it is still unclear how undecided voters will break, or what could be the impact of a high turnout. As few as 200,000 votes could determine the outcome.

The last Ipsos Mori poll shows 50 percent say they will vote “No”, with 45 percent saying they will vote “Yes”, and 4 percent still undecided.

Excluding those undecided, 53 percent of certain voters say they intend to vote “No”, with 47 percent to vote “Yes”.
