Out of the 26 polls since the GE, 13 are pro indy 13 aren’t. But it’s worth noting that 9 of the 13 pro-indy polls were commissioned by strongly pro-Indy groups (The National, The Herald, STV News), which seems like it could have some selection bias.

The Herald[1] and STV News (neutral as a broadcaster) are not strong Pro-Indy groups.

The National certainly is.

I honestly wasn't trying to game my reply, I looked for the latest results on their site and clearly failed at that!
