Keep sneering at Gaelic and calling for it to be suppressed. It’s a real unionist vote winner.

Have you seen today’s Survation polls?

The last Survation poll shows support for separation to be 2 points down from the last one which was a Panelbase one in August.

Good news for the Union.

It’s up 3 from the previous Survation poll and that’s how polls are normally compared. No is down 3. A 6 point swing.

7 yes polls in a row now.

I'd say that's a poor way to look at it.  A more accurate way would be to compare ones with similar questions or methodology.  Very hard to do without taking the time out.

What I do notice is that during these last 7 polls, the gap between yes and no seems to be larger when the 'don't know's' are largest, which suggests to me that most don't knows would support the Union.

We've had knee-jerk emotional responses that have caused short-term Yes support before.  Hopefully the current Yes nosedive is a sign that things are returning to normal.
