Even split between ‘yes’ and ‘no’ in new Scottish independence voting intention poll

A new poll of Scots aged 16+ asking about their voting intention in a second independence referendum and the Holyrood election (our first of 2020) finds that the independence vote is evenly split and the SNP has a healthy lead.

If there was a referendum tomorrow with the question ‘Should Scotland be an independent country?’, how would you vote?
