A Savanta survey for Scotland On Sunday of 1002 people found that 45% of Scots backed the plans, with 34% in opposition.

The same debate would also include a motion that would see the 2026 Holyrood election treated as a “de facto referendum”, with a majority of votes for independence-supporting parties being enough for Scotland to become independent.Meanwhile, another survey by Panelbase for The Sunday Times found 47% of Scots believed no result at a general election would be enough for a mandate for Scottish independence.
