Technical details
• This presents the topline results from the final Ipsos MORI

• Results are based on a survey of 991 adults aged 16+,
including 980 respondents registered to vote, conducted by
telephone.
• Fieldwork dates: 16th September – 17th September 2014
• Data are weighted by: age, sex, region and working status
using census data; tenure using SHS data; and public-
private sector employment using Scottish Government
Quarterly Public Sector Employment series data
• Where results do not sum to 100%, this may be due to
computer rounding, multiple responses, or the exclusion of

(980) unless otherwise stated.
