This statistic shows a distribution of respondents to a survey question designed to find out how those residing in Scotland think their personal finances would be effected if, in September 2014, Scotland voted 'yes' for independence from the United Kingdom. With a great deal of campaigning taking place on both sides of the debate, the 'no' vote usually has the most supporters in the polls. In January 2014, it was most commonly anticipated that there would be no difference to personal finances if Scotland left the United Kingdom.
If Scotland were to become an independent country, do you think you would be financially better or worse off?
* Full question: "If Scotland were to become an independent country, do you think that as a result you personally would be better off financially, worse off, or would it make no difference? IF BETTER/WORSE: Is that a lot or a little better/worse off?"
