Less than a third of Scots back Nicola Sturgeon's push for a fresh independence referendum by the end of next year despite her local elections dominance.
Two polls indicated widespread opposition to the SNP's timetable, even though the party ruled the roost again in council contests last week.
There also appears to be a continuing majority against leaving the UK, after public feeling reverted from a shift during the pandemic.
Survation research for the Scotland In Union campaign group found 29 per cent favoured another national vote on splitting the UK before the end of 2023.
In contrast, 60 per cent said they were opposed and 11 per cent were undecided.
A separate Panelbase poll for the Sunday Times put support for another independence referendum within 12 months at just 24 per cent - although that figure has risen five points since November.
