I'm not sure this swing can be taken as a significant fall in support for independence. To assume that a vote for anyone other than the SNP is a vote for the union and status quo is far too simplistic.

I would read this result as far more likely to be a determination that the next party to form a government in Westminster will not be the Conservatives.

While the SNP haven't exactly covered themselves in glory of late, people vote for many reasons and the priority would seem to be getting rid of the Tories above another vote on independence which, let's face it, is not on the cards any time soon.
