Survey for ITV News Tonight reported ‘dramatic uplift’ with 40% backing independence and most support amongst young people

Just under 40% of Welsh people polled who expressed an opinion said they would vote for independence, citing feelings that their country has different social attitudes to the UK as a whole and unhappiness at Westminster’s response to the Covid pandemic.
