EXCLUSIVE: The survey by Progress Scotland is a boost for the independence campaign after the SNP suffered a drubbing at the general election.
Most Scots choose independence when asked to pick their first preference for the country's constitutional future, a survey has found.
Scotland going it alone but rejoining the EU was the first preference of 34 per cent of respondents, while eight per cent of voters ranked independence outside of Europe as their top rank. A spokesperson for Progress Scotland said: "This new polling provides a significant insight into the constitutional and political opinions of people in Scotland.
The SNP had hoped to use the general election to intensify its calls for the UK Government to approve a second referendum on independence. Responding to the Survation poll, SNP MSP Rona Mackay said: "On so many issues it is Westminster that decides on our future - and whether it is Brexit, the years of austerity or the cost of living crisis, there is no doubt that Westminster control has hurt living standards and is holding Scotland back.
