The Yes camp is closing the gap. That is the clear message from two new opinion polls published this morning.
Both polls – ICM for Scotland on Sunday and Panelbase for the Sunday Herald – show that the undecideds are, at last, starting to make up their minds. But in doing so, the undecideds are going to Yes in greater numbers than they are to No.

That trend is clear, it is helping Yes to close the gap but it has not, as yet, given Yes anything like the support it needs to win the referendum in a month’s time. In the ICM poll, the undecideds are down from 21 per cent in July to just 14 per cent now.
That change has boosted the No camp by two percentage points, from 45 per cent to 47 per cent, but increased the Yes vote by four points, from 34 per cent to 38 per cent.
