LONDON - A slim majority of Scots now support independence, bolstered by the support of those who previously rejected a split from the United Kingdom but who now back it because of their opposition to Brexit, according to a poll published on Thursday.
The survey found that 51% supported independence, YouGov said, the first time the pollster had found majority backing for a “Yes” to secession since 2015. In 2014, Scots voted to remain in the United Kingdom by 55% to 45%. However, members of Scotland’s parliament on Wednesday voted in favor of a new poll, arguing that Britain’s impending departure from the European Union, which a majority of Scots opposed, had changed the circumstances.
However, a majority of Scots opposed holding a second vote on the issue this year and the survey found that many voters were still worried about the economic impact, with 42% thinking an independent Scotland would be worse off against 35% believing it would be better off.
