Opinion polls suggest the 45% of people who voted in favour of independence remain committed to the cause.
Image source, PAProf John Curtice from Strathclyde University told the Good Morning Scotland programme that the September 2014 vote had left an indelible impression on the political scene.
He said: "The referendum has made independence and Scotland's constitutional position the central issue of Scottish electoral politics.
"The truth is that given 45% of people voted yes, and there is no sign of that diminishing - that guarantees the SNP about 45% of the vote before you start., unless the opposition parties can persuade people in the next 100 days that this election, unlike the last election, should not be another re-run of the referendum in September 2014."
