A little poll for the Referendum... if interested....

Just purely out of interest (not looking for cases for/against or this to descend into any sort of slinging madness!).
However, I'm genuinely interested if people think the outcome from the Scottish Referendum tomorrow will be a Yes or a No vote?
To be clear, I'm not looking for people to tell me their private business about what they are voting just which way folks think the polls will swing. If you're interested just answer Yes or No (again purely which was you think the polls will go, not what you're voting).
I personally think it will be a No vote.

I think you needed to set this up as a vote, with a button to press, other wise it doesn't work.Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....0

I know what outcome I'd want but I suspect it'll be a no.0

As above, I know what I'd like it to be - either way I believe it will be a no.0

I have a feeling it will be a yes vote and everyone,including Scots, will come to regret it.
As a side issue what has Gordon Brown been taking for the last 4 years??? If he had been like this during the last election and years when he was PM, I have a feeling David Cameron wouldn't have got a look in0 -
I have a feeling it will be a yes. If so, I need to start seeing about moving to Europe.
Or more realistically, need to work out what job I can get in a few years time.0 -
I think it'll be a no.
There's a lot of talk about a yes vote but when it comes to actually voting tomorrow I think they'll get the collywobbles and vote to stay in.0 -

I think it will be no.
Part of the reason for that being the intimidatory tactics used by some of the "Yes" campaigners. I wouldn't trust the sort of person who uses that sort of tactic and tries to negate our hardwon right to "freedom of speech" and wouldn't want to be associated with them.
So, I'd either keep my mouth shut or lie and say I was going to vote "Yes", so as to not be on the receiving end of nasty tactics and then go in the ballot box and thank heaven for a secret ballot and proceed to vote "No" and I am, consequently, wondering if that's what many Scots will do too.0 -
You think its yes people doing the intimidating?
Well, in my home town the yes campaigners had a people carrier with the yes logo on it and it was defaced by some kind person who wrote NO NO NO on it. Saw the pic on their facebook page this morning.
Ive also seen yes poster defaced in my home town. Post boxes defaced with people writing NO on it
And people like my mum and myself have been out campaigning for the yes vote peacefully
Im going to say this, you don't have a clue what you are talking about and I find your comments offensive.
I live in a town that was destroyed by the Tories when they shut the steelworks. 4 generations of families out of work. Nothing but pubs, supermarkets and hairdressers. Oh and since the Tories came to power, lots of pawn shops.
That's why Im voting yes. So that Tories dont have power over Scotland because we as a nation don't vote Tory.
And the majority of the campaign on both sides has been peaceful. Ive been at demos every week in Glasgow for the last month and theres been hardly any trouble
Unlike a big no march that took place last week in Edinburgh. No one is being intimidated into voting a certain way. People's minds are made up and if they aren't how they vote is entirely up to them.
There was no trouble in Glasgow between the yes people and the no people on Saturday. As it should be.0
