<p>The online poll questioned 1,019 adults in Scotland between July 30 and August 2.</p>
<p>It found 47% felt there should be a second independence referendum within the next two years, with 45% against the proposal.</p>
<p>First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: <em>“This is a phenomenal poll for the independence movement – showing that more and more people think it’s time that Scotland took our own decisions and shaped our own future as a fair, prosperous, outward-looking nation.”</em></p>
<p>Ms Sturgeon said the case for independence was growing stronger by the day as Scotland is “dragged towards a no-deal Brexit”.</p>
<p>Scottish Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie said: <em>“We didn’t vote for Brexit, we didn’t vote for a Tory government and I’m certain that given the choice we wouldn’t have voted for Boris Johnson either – yet we are being dragged along with the ever increasing Brexit catastrophe.</em></p>
<p><em>“It’s no wonder that a majority of Scots now recognise the need for us to make an exit from Boris Johnson’s Brexit Britain.</em></p>
<p><em>“We already have a mandate to hold an independence referendum, yet the Tory Government has threatened to block a request.</em></p>
<p><em>“This would be an affront to democracy, and is wholly untenable in the face of public support for a vote.”</em></p>
