Labour boosted by poll results
LABOUR yesterday hailed a poll which shows the party has overtaken the SNP in Holyrood voting intentions.
It comes amid falling support for an independence referendum. A YouGov survey found the SNP remains ahead on the constituency vote with 35 per cent, compared with Labour's 34 per cent. But on the regional vote Labour is on 32 per cent and the SNP on 30 per cent.
This would give Labour 49 seats – up three, while the SNP would drop to 44 – down three.
"Labour is back under the leadership of Iain Gray," said Labour MSP Duncan McNeil.
