Shock figures have found the SNP slumping to a two point lead over Labour on the eve of Nicola Sturgeon resigning.
The YouGov snapshot put the Nationalists on 29 per cent for a general election, compared to Labour on 27 per cent.
In the 2019 Westminster election, the gap between the two parties was around 27 points.
The poll was conducted for the academic group Scottish Election Study (SES), with 1,239 Scots surveyed in the five days before Sturgeon’s announcement.
It also shows 2 per cent opting for "some other party", 7 per cent going for "would not vote", 14 per cent saying "don't know" and 2 per cent refusing to say.
The Tories were on 12 per cent and the Lib Dems in 4 per cent.
