THE National has charted all the Scotland-specific vote share polls since the General Election here, so you can be as informed as possible as we count down to election day.
We'll be updating this tracker right up to election day – and we've got plans for a new indy poll tracker in the future.
We've excluded UK-wide polls from our chart for accuracy reasons.
Many of them only poll a few hundred Scots, which experts say is not a large enough figure to generate an accurate picture of the situation in Scotland.

Some of the polls we've used don't include parties like Alba, the Greens or Reform UK. You'll see gaps on the tracker for these parties where data was unavailable.
So far, 11 polls have been conducted in Scotland since the General Election was called on May 22.
We've included all of those, and three polls taken here before the election was announced – so you can see how the parties were doing before campaigning started.
Our coverage of this election campaign has been wide-ranging – from in-depth constituency profiles to exclusive interviews with political leaders.
You can find all of our General Election coverage on the tab on our website, via our News section.
What have the polls told us so far?
In the 11 polls conducted since the election was called, Labour have been leading in nine.
In two polls, published on June 9 and June 21, the SNP were tied – with Labour on 36% the first time, and the second time on 34%.
For most of the campaigning period, the two have been within 5% of one another.
It's important to note that polls aren't perfect. Most election polls only sample around 1000 people – enough to get a rough picture, but not enough to perfectly reflect the views of the public.
Here's some of our coverage of the polls so far:
- Labour lead falls as SNP pull level in latest General Election poll for Scotland
- Labour lead over SNP drops by six points in latest General Election poll
- Labour hold four-point lead over SNP – but independence question remains tight
- Scots back independence and Tories face total wipeout, new poll finds
- New Scottish poll reveals extent of Labour poll lead over SNP
- Scottish Labour hold five-point lead over SNP in new poll
- Tories on course for worst-ever election result, according to major new poll
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
