74% Informative

Polling suggests SNP has regained its lead over Labour ahead of Holyrood elections.

But nationalist support is still well below the levels Nicola Sturgeon enjoyed at last election.

With Reform also likely to pick up seats, there may be no independence-supporting majority for first time since 2007-2011 .
