55-65% of under 34s, around 50% of under 54s and 40% of the over 55s with the latter climbing steadily now for 13 years. All three groups way up on 2014.
What does this tell us? Support for independence in this survey is well above that in those privately run polls, with samples weighted to match the 2014 result, and to get a No majority.
Can we trust the SSA?
This is a proper survey, by University academics, all of whom have passed a research methods and a research ethics course and none of whom depend on private pollsters for funding, with ‘proper’ scientific sampling. You can trust this.
The Scottish Social Attitudes survey is a high-quality survey designed to chart long-term changes in public opinion, to examine particular subjects in depth, and to facilitate the comparison of attitudes in Scotland with those in England and Wales. It has been conducted annually with between 1,000 and 1,500 people, except in 2008 and 2018, together with (because of the pandemic) 2020 and 2022.

I would expect this polling is what the private polling by Gove (and now Labour), see and understand.
Its why they will always refuse a referendum. Unlike Ireland for obvious reasons.
I dont want a referendum, given the huge media bias that exists in Scotland.
We should put in our manifestos that a polling majority for independence of 60% will be enough to trigger negotiations and if they dont like it we will go to the EU and the UN. Other colonies have left without referenda, so why not us?
I do not, and never would, advocate violence, but a bomb or two on the pylons going south would wake them up…….. see Ireland!
