The Demographics of Independence – 2021 Edition

Country of Birth is a substantial driver of support for independence.  Support for independence is particularly volatile amongst males aged 34-55 but remains relatively stable for other age groups.  Support for independence amongst females is generally rising in all age groups.

Remain voters are far more likely to say they will vote for independence and Leave voters now far more likely to vote against.  

Social grades ABC1 were overwhelmingly likely to vote No.  Social grades C2DE are extremely likely to vote for independence.
