Image source, bbcProfessor Curtice says Labour's vote is down by 11 points so farpublished at 03:10 British Summer Time 6 May 2016
Professor John Curtice
Polling expertSo far with 10 constituency seats now declared in Scotland Labour's vote is down by 11 points, while the Cons' tally is up by 6 point.
If this patttern persists then Labour would end up just a point ahead of the Cons in constituency votes.
However it should be born in mind that the seats the two parties win will be determined primarily by the outcome on the list vote, on which many opinion polls have suggested the Cons will do slightly better.
Meanwhile the SNP vote is so far up by just over 4 points, suggesting that the party will once agin win something close to half the vote in Scotland.
