WE'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES - POLL CONFIRMS SCOTTISH VOTER’S TRUST IN SNP.
NECK AND NECK IN RACE FOR WESTMINSTER SEATS.
SLP GRAY’S RATINGS WORSE THAN WENDY’S.
A new poll by YouGov – and commissioned by the SNP – has confirmed the
voters trust in the SNP Government is increasing for all elections as we
approach the second anniversary of the SNP’s historic victory in the 2007
Scottish Parliamentary elections.
The poll of 1020 people on 21 and 22nd April 2009 shows:
* The SNP increasing its vote in the constituency and regional votes for
the Scottish Parliament
* The SNP vote for Westminster elections increasing by 12% , bringing the
party neck and neck with Labour
* Twice as many people trust the SNP Scottish Government to focus on their
needs and interests as trust the UK Labour Government
* Alex Salmond’s ratings dwarfing other party leaders with Iain Gray’s
ratings figures not only lower than Annabel Goldie’s but historically
lower than any other Scottish Labour leader.
* Voters of all parties see the SNP holding the balance of power in
Westminster as a "good thing" for Scotland
Commenting on the poll figures Angus Robertson MP, SNP Business Convenor
and Westminster leader, said:
“This is a sensational poll for the SNP and for Scotland. As we approach
the mid term of the Parliament, they are the SNP's strongest ratings since
last autumn.
“The poll shows that voters across Scotland know that we have what it
takes to focus on their needs and interests during tough times.
“As the SNP approaches the second anniversary of our historic election
victory, the poll demonstrates a tale of two governments.
“The SNP’s actions in our first two years in Government have delivered
major improvements in people's lives, with the council tax frozen,
scrapping of small business rates, the phased abolition of prescription
charges, and investment in jobs and skills under our six-point plan to
support Scotland through the recession.
"By contrast, Labour's £500 million raid on Scottish spending has set the
terms of politics in Scotland, and will galvanise SNP support further in
the European and Westminster elections to come.
"Labour have let people down with their mismanagement of the economy and
attacks of Scotland's public services.
“Double the number of people trust the SNP Government over the UK Labour
government to be on their side. The SNP’s support for jobs, skills,
training and investment is clearly recognised by voters as doing
everything possible within our powers to promote recovery from Labour’s
recession and build a strong, sustainable economy and society.”
Commenting on the leadership and First Minister ratings which confirm Alex
Salmond’s support and show the Labour leader with the worst figures ever,
Mr Robertson said:
“This result shows that people believe Alex Salmond is an excellent First
Minister for all of Scotland - he is more popular among Labour voters than
Iain Gray, and more popular among Lib Dem voters that Tavish Scott!
“The poll is a personal disaster for Iain Gray – as Labour’s Scottish
leader he is the invisible man, and totally overshadowed by Jim Murphy and
Steven Purcell.
“No Labour leader has ever had such low support from the Scottish public.
When even fewer people want to see Iain Gray as First Minister than wanted
Wendy Alexander, this is a crisis for his leadership."
Commenting on the voting intentions for Westminster and the support for
the SNP to hold the balance of power at Westminster Stewart Hosie MP,
Convenor of the SNP’s Westminster Campaign added;
“These dramatic results show voters know the SNP has got what it takes to
provide them with a strong voice at Westminster.
“Labour have lost the trust of the Scottish public.
“With a 12% increase from the 2005 election the SNP is winning the trust
of the Scottish electorate at all levels whilst Labour is continuing to
lose public support and the LibDems are disappearing from the electoral
map.
“There is clear evidence from this poll that voters of all parties support
the SNP holding the balance of power at Westminster, no matter who is in
number 10.
“The SNP in Westminster have got what it takes to see Scotland’s interests
protected, not sacrificed as they have been under successive Labour and
Tory governments and this poll shows that the Scottish public recognise
our vital role in protecting and promoting their interests."
