Stevenson Welcomes Sensational Poll Results for SNP - Highest Ever Poll Rating and 16 Point Lead

SNP 48% - LABOUR 32%

Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson has welcomed the poll in the Daily Mail by Progressive Scottish Opinion which puts the SNP at 48% to 32% for Labour and also shows 40% of the public are satisfied with the new SNP Government with only 12% unfavourable.

Commenting Mr. Stevenson said;

"These are sensational figures, showing SNP support up 15 points since the election. Clearly there is no 'Brown bounce' to be seen here in Scotland. The poll reflects the success of the SNP government in delivering our programme for the first 100 days at a pace that has left the opposition parties with little to say. In fact this is the highest opinion poll rating we have ever recorded.


"The SNP has built credibility and competence in government, and that is reflected in the satisfaction figures running at over three-to-one in favour. No previous Scottish government has built up such a solid platform of support in such a short period of time.

"Support for independence depends on how you ask the question - with as many polls in favour as against - and the important thing now is that the SNP will lead a national conversation on Scotland's constitutional future which will allow the people to have their say."
