  1. Today's newspapers

    The latest poll on the referendum is the lead story in Scotsman today.

    It says: "Latest poll has Yes and No now neck and neck".

    The Herald says Gordon Brown has set out an ambitious timetable for a third Scotland Act that would devolve new powers to Holyrood if Scots reject independence in next week's referendum.

    The Courier's headline is "Brown's big plans for 'Home Rule in the UK'.

    'Home Rule' plan to stop Salmond, is the Express's take on the story.

    It says major new powers for Holyrood could be in place early next year if Scots reject Alex Salmond's push for independence.

  3. Too close to call

    As a result of today's poll, our poll of polls, although still dated 5 September (as interviewing for TNS BMRB's poll concluded on 4 September before that for YouGov's), has been updated. On that measure Yes support has edged up again and now stands at 48%, with No on 52%. The referendum race is now clearly too close to call.

    The latest poll today from TNS BMRB, another pollster that like YouGov has tended to report a relatively low Yes vote, is crucial in helping us to decide whether there really has been a substantial swing to Yes, or whether instead something unusual has happened to YouGov's polls. Its answer is unambiguous; it also has detected a big swing to Yes.

  5. Another poll

    Another day, another poll. Yet again it shows the rival Scottish independence referendum campaigns almost tied.

    This one, from TNS, shows that support for independence has jumped by six points in the last month, putting the Yes vote at 38% and the No vote at 39%, with 23% undecided.

    Of those who said they were sure to vote, the Yes and No camps were neck and neck at 41% with 18% undecided.

    The TNS poll of 990 people was conducted between 27 August and 4 September.
