<p>There are 13 Tory MPs in Scotland, but the YouGov poll for the People’s Vote campaign indicates they would all be replaced by the SNP.</p>
<p>The polling, which was conducted exclusively in Conservative-held constituencies across Scotland, points to a 14% drop in the party’s vote share in these seats, down from 44% to 30%.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the vote share for the SNP is predicted to rise from 34% to 42%.</p>
<blockquote><p>This poll sends a very serious warning to the Conservative and Unionist Party in Scotland</p></blockquote>
<p>The poll shows a majority of voters in these constituencies would vote to keep the UK in the EU in a new referendum, by 63% to 37%, excluding non-voters and don’t knows.</p>
<p>More than half (51%) back a new public vote on Brexit, rising to 58% when don’t knows are excluded.</p>
<p>About a third (33%) of those questioned back leaving the EU with no Brexit deal if Parliament continues to vote against a withdrawal agreement.</p>
<p>Pollsters also found more people oppose a general election before October 31 than support the idea of a poll before the Brexit deadline, at 37% to 41%.</p>
<p>Questioned about the impact of Brexit, respondents believed by three to one it would leave the economy weaker (53%) rather than stronger (17%).</p>
<p>By almost seven to one those polled said Brexit would leave their family worse off (48%) rather than better off (7%).</p>

<p>A similar ratio thought the NHS would get worse (48%) rather than better (13%).</p>
<blockquote><p>50% Proportion of respondents who believe Brexit will leave the next generation worse off</p></blockquote>
<p>By almost 10 to one those polled believe Brexit will lead to higher taxes, at 48% to 5%.</p>
<p>Half of respondents (50%) think the next generation will be left worse off by Brexit, with just 15% believing the opposite.</p>
<p>Lord Cooper, previously pollster to former Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson, said: “This poll sends a very serious warning to the Conservative and Unionist Party in Scotland.</p>
<p>“Boris Johnson’s threat to them is not that he will be a bump in the road on a slow but continuing recovery, but that he will effectively eliminate them overnight as a major force in Scottish politics, and so reverse ten years of patient hard work by Ruth Davidson and hundreds of hard-working volunteers, councillors, MPs and MSPs.</p>
<p>He added: “Asking Scottish voters to choose between their British and their European identities, and forcing Scottish voters to back a nationalist agenda that might work in some parts of England, looks as though it will spectacularly backfire.”</p>

<p>SNP Westminster group leader Ian Blackford said: “This stunning poll underlines the strength of opposition to Brexit in Scotland.</p>
<p>“Boris Johnson’s reckless plans for an extreme Brexit would be devastating – threatening to destroy 100,000 Scottish jobs and inflict lasting harm on living standards, public services and the economy.</p>
<p>“It is shameful that Scottish Tory MPs have completely failed to oppose them.”</p>
<p>A total of 887 Scottish adults were questioned between August 28 and September 4.</p>
<p>A Scottish Conservative spokesman said: “The Scottish Conservatives are the only opposition to the SNP.</p>
<p>“Time and again the SNP has used Brexit to push for another divisive independence referendum.</p>
<p>“The Scottish Conservatives are the only party which respects the outcomes of both referendums.”</p>
