Yes is now behind in most age groups but the 25-39 year olds.
Quote:
...Opposition to independence strongest among young and old Scots. Over 60s: No 64%, Yes 36%
...Scots 16-24 year olds also now rejecting breakaway: No 53%, Yes 47%. A mistake by Salmond to give 16-18s the vote?
...Support for independence hardest among 25-39 year-olds: Yes 60%, No 40%
...Scots middle aged, 40-59 year-olds, split down the middle: No 50%, Yes 50%
