SNP on course for another majority government, poll suggests
The poll indicates Labour will finish second while the Greens could have their best ever result.
The latest opinion poll ahead of May's Holyrood election shows that the SNP are heading for a second majority government.
Pollsters TNS put the SNP on 56% of the constituency vote while Labour is second with 19%. The Scottish Conservatives, who are aiming to finish ahead of Labour, are third in the poll on 15% while the Liberal Democrats finish fourth in the constituency section with 6%.
When entering the poll results into Weber Shandwick's seat predictor it suggests that the SNP will form a majority government with 72 seats, three more than what they won in 2011.
If these results were replicated on polling day on May 5 this would give the Scottish Greens their highest share of the vote and a record number of MSPs. The left-wing party would become Scotland's fourth largest party in Holyrood ahead of the Scottish Liberal Democrats.
