A new poll has said Scottish Labour could be virtually wiped out in next year’s General Election and left with just four MPs.
The Ipsos Mori survey for STV News suggests just 23% of Scots would vote Labour, leaving them with only four seats at Westminster.
Currently the party has 40 MPs.
The poll suggests support for the SNP has rocketed to 52%, which puts them on target for 54 seats at Westminster.
It also suggests the Liberal Democrats will be left with just one MP while David Mundell, the Scottish Conservatives only MP, will lose his seat.
The 1026 participants were surveyed between October 22 and 29 and asked how they would vote if there was a General Election tomorrow.
At the 2010 general election Labour received 42% of the Scottish vote and the SNP 19.9%.
However, Scottish Labour is in crisis following the resignation of Johann Lamont as party leader, who claimed she had been undermined by the UK party.
The figures exclude people who do not know how they vote next year but according to website Electoral Calculus the results indicate that Jim Murphy, who today announced he would stand for the Scottish Labour leadership, would lose his seat should not be voted leader of Scottish Labour and stand for Westminster again.
The only Scottish Labour MPs who would survive would be Gordon Brown in Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, Willie Bain in Glasgow North East, Tom Clarke in Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill, and Ian Davidson in Glasgow South West.
