EDINBURGH (Xinhua) - The margin between the Yes campaign and the No campaign in the Scottish independence referendum widened to 8 percentage points with the latter in the lead, showed the latest poll result on Saturday.
Commissioned by the Better Together campaign and carried out by Survation between Wednesday and Friday, the telephone poll put the "No" vote on 54 percent and the "Yes" camp on 46 percent when undecided voters are factored out.
Out of the 1,044 polled individuals, there were 927 effective responses. The topline figures are Yes 41 percent, No 47 percent, Don't know or refused 12 percent.
Responding to the latest Survation opinion poll, Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond said: "What matters is what's happening in the streets and communities around Scotland."
Survation's last online poll for the Scottish Daily Record newspaper had Yes 47 percent, No 53 percent.
Later, the Opinium poll for the Observer newspaper put Yes on 45 percent, No on 49 percent, 6 percent Don't know, which worked out No 53 percent, Yes 47 percent with Don't knows excluded.
On Saturday, both campaigns were given a final push at the last weekend ahead of next Thursday's Scottish independence referendum.
In October 2012, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Salmond signed the Edinburgh Agreement, allowing Scotland to hold an independence referendum in autumn 2014 on the question of "Should Scotland be an independent country?"
