"BEST EVER POSITION THREE MONTHS FROM ELECTION"
The Scottish National Party welcomed the result of the latest ICM opinion poll for the Scotsman newspaper today [Wednesday] - the third poll of the year to give the SNP a clear lead on both questions. The results are:
1st Holyrood question
SNP: 33%
Lab: 31%
LibD: 17%
Con: 13%
SSP: 3%
Oth: 3%
2nd Holyrood question
SNP: 33%
Lab: 27%
LibD: 17%
Con: 14%
Gre: 5%
SSP: 3%
Oth: 2%
SNP Campaign Director Mr Angus Robertson MP said:
"We are absolutely delighted, this poll shows the SNP vote is rock solid and is now approaching the mid-30s on both questions. This is the third poll in a month to show the SNP clearly ahead, and on course to become the largest party. Since the 2003 election, there has been a swing of 7 per cent from Labour to the SNP. The SNP have never been in such a strong position just three months from the election - leading in both questions, and engaging people with our positive campaign to build a healthier, wealthier, more successful Scotland.
"By contrast, Labour are fighting a 'negative', 'London-based' and 'extreme' campaign - to quote the former First Minister Henry McLeish. The Labour campaign is a mess, and is now tainted by their 'cash for honours' crisis.
"The SNP are setting out a positive policy agenda to take Scotland forward. London Labour's silly scaremongering campaign just isn't working, as they continue to trail the SNP."
