When will Obomber send NATO into Scotland? === Scots Independence Poll Puts ‘Yes’ Campaign Ahead at 51% By Rodney Jefferson and Thomas Penny Sep 7, 2014 3:49 AM GMT-1000 116 Comments Email Print Facebook Twitter Google+ LinkedIn Save Photographer: Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images Yes and No campaigners in Blantyre, Scotland, on September 4, 2014. Scotland’s... Read More Scotland’s nationalists overtook opponents of independence in an opinion poll for the first time this year, sparking a government promise of more powers for the Scottish parliament less than two weeks before the country votes on whether to break up the 307-year-old U.K. A YouGov Plc survey for the Sunday Times showed Yes voters increased to 51 percent, while the No side dropped to 49 percent when undecided respondents were excluded. The shift to an outright lead for supporters of independence may further roil financial markets after the pound weakened last week when the pro-U.K side’s support narrowed to six percentage points. The Sept. 18 ballot on Scottish independence is dominating the U.K. after door-to-door campaigning on both sides intensified last week and as traders and investors no longer rule out a dramatic victory for nationalist leader Alex Salmond. “For a positive message to catch up so much in a month is totally unprecedented,” said Matt Qvortrup, a senior researcher at Cranfield University in England and author of “Referendums and Ethnic Conflict.” “This is pretty revolutionary stuff in referendum terms.
