NEW @IpsosMORIScot & @STVNews poll 🧵
✴️Boris Johnson’s ratings fall to lowest level @IpsosMORIScot has yet recorded for a Conservative PM – 4 in 5 Scots dissatisfied
✴️Support for indy back to level last seen in late 2020 – Yes 55%/No 45% among those who'd vote either way (1/8)
Here’s the trend on indy. Results elsewhere in the poll suggest that disillusionment with Boris Johnson and Westminster may be a factor behind the shift in Yes support, following a very bad week for the Conservatives at Westminster and heated debate about MPs’ second jobs (2/8)
