A NEW poll suggests the gap is continuing to narrow between voters on both sides of the referendum debate.

The lead held by the Better Together campaign for a No vote in September has shrunk from 19% in September to 12% in the latest survey, according to pollsters TNS.

The poll of 988 people found the No vote has dropped one point to 41% compared with 29% for independence, which is up one point from February.

Among those who say they are certain to vote, 33% will back independence, compared with 46% of people who say they will vote against.
