Scotland’s nationalists suffered a second straight setback in the polls after YouGov Plc showed them trailing less than a week after overtaking the anti-independence campaign for the first time.

The survey for the Times and Sun newspapers put support for breaking away from the U.K. at 48 percent versus 52 percent backing for the status quo when excluding undecided voters, YouGov said on its website. That shows a three percentage-point increase for the No side and the same decline for the Yes side compared with the company’s last poll, for the Sunday Times.
