Voters blame Tories (closely followed by the SNP) for the state of Scottish economy
Our latest Ipsos Scotland polling suggests that the Scottish public is equally negative in its assessment of the current state of the economy – 76% say the Scotland economy is currently in a ‘poor’ state, with just 20% saying it is in a ‘good’ state. Neither do they expect it to improve particularly quickly – 75% expect the Scottish economy to either stay the same (29%) or get worse (46%) in the next 12 months.
