London, July 11 : Only one in three Scots is in favour of independence from United Kingdom, according to a poll.

Despite the best efforts of Scotland’s First Minister Alex Salmond, a YouGov survey for the Daily Telegraph reveals that a majority of voters favour the status quo delivering a blow to those who want to break up the Union.

The “No” vote has a clear 12 point lead over the “Yes” vote, with 48 per cent against independence, 36 per cent in favour and 14 per cent unsure. Some previous polls have shown a much narrower margin between the two camps.

In a previous YouGov poll, when a third option of increased powers for a devolved parliament was included, only 19 per cent backed independence.
