"Put us in to power and then judge us by our achievements"they said.
Well it seems that Scottish voters are taking on board the SNP's pleas to be judged as a government. Unfortunately for the SNP's strategy, it appears that the voters appear think that they are a pretty crap government......
The Telegraph and the New Statesman are reporting a YouGov poll showing support for the SNP and for independence shrinking and support for Labour improving.

Those saying that they would support independence is recorded at 29% of the electorate, down substantially on a year ago.
A referendum on independence is also less popular,
47 per cent said that there should not be a vote "as this would be a distraction from more urgent issues that need tackling".
Support for Labour at Westminster is up 10% to 39% and for the SNP is down 12% to 24%.
All-in-all, very bad newsfor the Salmond regime, and depressing for the supporters of independence.
Good news for everybody else, though:)
