1 POLL ON SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE Published 0 th October 0 As the leadig supplier of opiio polls withi Scotlad for over 0 years, TNS BMRB will be publishig regular pollig i the ruup to the Scottish Idepedece referedum o th September 0, usig the exact wordig which will feature o the ballot paper for the referedum vote. This is the secod poll i this mothly series, which was published o 0 th October 0. TNS BMRB is a member of the British Pollig Coucil (BPC) ad abides by its rules. We also operate withi the Code of Coduct of the Market Research Society (MRS). I accordace with these rules the followig iformatio is provided: Sample size 00 Samplig poits Scottish parliamet costituecies Fieldwork dates th September d October 0 Iterview method Populatio sampled Samplig method Data weightig Questios Further equiries Facetoface, ihome CAPI All adults aged + i Scotlad The poll was coducted through our Omibus, Scottish Opiio Survey. For this survey, samplig poits are selected to be represetative of Scotlad demographically ad geographically. Withi each samplig poit, a quota samplig method is used for respodet selectio. Data is weighted to the profile of all adults aged + i Scotlad, based o populatio profile estimates from the BARB (Broadcasters Audiece Research Board) Establishmet Report 0, Mid year populatio estimates 0 ad the 00 Cesus. Weightig is carried out i relatio to workig status withi geder, age, social grade ad electoral regio. Data is also weighted by recalled vote to match turout ad share of costituecy vote from the 0 Holyrood electio, as recorded i SPICe Briefig 0 Scottish Parliamet Electio Results. Uweighted ad weighted bases are show at the top of each data table. The data tables show the questio wordig i full Alastair.graham@tsbmrb.co.uk
