Indy support drop 'not a surprise' says Plaid Cymru

Support for Welsh independence has fallen to its lowest recorded level in the wake of the Scottish referendum, according to a new poll for BBC Wales.

The survey, carried out days after Scotland voted No, found just 3% wanted to Wales to be independent.

But there was strong support for the idea of more powers being devolved to the Welsh Assembly with 49% in favour.

ICM Research interviewed a random sample of 1,006 people in Wales over the telephone.

However, the Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said the poll did not come as a shock.
