Poll shows rising Scottish support for staying in United Kingdom

Scottish support independence has declined, a poll for Survation showed on Saturday, widening the lead for the pro-union campaign just 5 days before Scotland votes on whether to separate from the rest of the United Kingdom.

A Survation poll on behalf of the pro-union Better Together campaign found support for staying in the United Kingdom was at 54 %, while 46 % were planning to vote for independence on Sept. 18, once undecideds were excluded.

Its last poll on Wednesday showed unionists on 53 % and separatists on 47 %.
