EDINBURGH ¨C Scotland¡¯s future will be debated in a final TV showdown on Monday just weeks before a historic independence referendum with the pro-breakaway camp, behind in the polls, looking for a game-changing performance from its leader Alex Salmond.
As voting day, Sept. 18, draws nearer, polls show that the campaign to sever Scotland¡¯s 307-year union with England and leave the United Kingdom is trailing in the polls, as it generally has been from the start.
Several recent polls have shown its support climbing a few points, but according to the most recent ¡°poll of polls¡± on Aug. 15 ¡ª based on an average of the last six polls and excluding undecided respondents ¡ª support for the pro-independence camp stands at 43 percent against 57 percent for opponents.
