Support for Scottish independence falls to 39% – YouGov poll for Sky News

LONDON (Reuters) – Support for Scottish independence from the UK has now fallen to 39%, a YouGov poll for Sky News showed on Monday, against the backdrop of a leadership contest in the country.

The poll found that 47% now wish to remain part of the United Kingdom. In a referendum in 2014, Scots voted 55%-45% to remain in the union.
