EDINBURGH, Scotland, April 30 (UPI) -- Nineteen percent of Scottish voters voiced support for a complete break from Britain, the lowest backing ever for independence, a poll Wednesday indicated.
Almost 75 percent of respondents said they approve of Scotland's current level of self-government with a devolved Parliament or would like the Scottish Parliament to have more power, The Telegraph reported. The survey also found that a majority of voters blame Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond for disputes between his government and the British government in Westminster.
While few Scots said they support the Scottish National Party's call for independence, they continue to support the party and Salmond. More than half said that he is doing a good job, while Scottish Labor leader Wendy Alexander's approval rating is about 20 percent.
One place the Scots don't trust their leaders is with their money. The poll found a majority said they wouldn't want to give the Scottish government greater powers to tax.
The poll was conducted by YouGov for The Telegraph.
