A new poll has revealed that almost half the people who oppose an independent Scotland feel "personally threatened" by the Yes campaign that is exhorting people to vote for independence in tomorrow's referendum.
The survey quizzed 3,200 Scots and was conducted by YouGov for BuzzFeed. The results have however, fuelled allegations by the Better Together campaign that supporters of independence are intimidating the voters, reported The Independent.
Almost 46 per cent of No supporters said that they felt "personally threatened" by the Yes campaign as opposed to 50 per cent who did not. In a stark contrast to these figures, only 24 per cent of Yes supporters said that they felt "personally threatened" by the No campaign whereas 72 per cent did not.
Half of No voters (49 per cent) also said that they could not express their views on the referendum freely as opposed to 48 per cent who felt they did.
On the other hand, 76 per cent of Yes backers admitted that they were able to speak freely, and only 21 per cent felt that they could not.
The poll also showed that those who opposed Scotland's independence were also more likely to have fallen out with friends, family members, colleagues and other people in comparison to those who supported it.
About 85 per cent of No voters believed that the campaign had divided the Scottish society as opposed to 30 per cent of Yes supporters who held that opinion.
