For example, a poll conducted earlier this year determined that if a referendum on continued EU membership had been held in June in the UK as a whole, 47.1% would have voted to leave, with 39.4% voting to remain. But a poll in February 2014 showed that in Scotland, 48.7% would vote for the UK to remain in the EU, with 35.4% voting to leave.
比如，今年早些时候举行的民调表明，如果在7月在英国进行关于欧盟成员地位的公投，那么47.1%将支持退出，39.4%的人支持留在欧盟。但2014年2月的民调显示，在苏格兰，48.7%的人会支持英国留下欧盟，35.1%把票投给退出。其他民调也一致表明，苏格兰对欧盟的态度比英格兰积极得多。
