The political standoff over Scotland’s push for another independence referendum isn’t persuading more people to back the nationalist cause, according to the latest poll.

The survey by Kantar found more voters in Scotland don’t want independence or to have a vote on the issue. Among those certain to cast a ballot if one were held, support for staying in the U.K. was at 55 percent compared with 37 percent for leaving. Eight percent were undecided.
