Scottish nationalists seeking independence from the U.K. lost ground in the latest poll of voting intentions for the Sept. 18 referendum, as campaigners to keep the 307-year-old U.K. intact extended their lead.
Support for staying a part of the U.K. rose to 45 percent from 41 percent while backing for independence held at 32 percent, according to the monthly survey published by TNS today. Among the 71 percent of respondents who said they were certain to vote, the No camp was unchanged at 46 percent, while backing for Yes rose 1 percentage point to 38 percent. Sixteen percent said they were undecided, down 2 points, TNS said.
