The shift from No to Yes among 2019 Labour voters has been one of the key dynamics driving growing Yes support over the past 14 months - the ComRes data gives us plenty of insight into that dynamic.

Firstly, nearly a third of 2019 Labour voters now intend to vote Yes 1/6
Of more immediate consequence is that more than one-in-eight 2019 Labour voters intend to vote SNP in May.

That's the biggest swing from one party to another in absolute terms, and the biggest proportionally apart from the 24% of 2019 Lib Dems who intend to vote Tory 2/6
Looking at 2019 Labour voters' other ratings makes it clear why a chunk have swung to the SNP/Yes.

Nicola Sturgeon is the most popular Scottish party leader among 2019 Labour voters, and her government is far more popular than the Westminster Government 3/6
The First Minister is, generally, very positively rated by Labour voters - they are more likely than not to say she is genuine, trustworthy, and understands ordinary people (a crucial attribute for Labour voters) 4/6
Around a fifth of 2019 Labour voters trust @theSNP most to improve standards of living, education, healthcare, and the Scottish economy 5/6
And while Scottish Labour is generally more positively perceived as a party by their 2019 voters, the SNP now leads by a good margin on providing strong leadership 6/6
