The YouGov independent poll also reveals a low personal rating for Labour leader Jack McConnell, with voters most impressed with Scottish Socialist leader Tommy Sheridan instead.

In another blow to Labour, some 31% of those surveyed felt Mr McConnell had performed badly since becoming First Minister following the resignation of Henry McLeish.

Voters also found SNP leader John Swinney the least impressive leader.

Like Labour, the SNP's popularity has slipped since 1999, with greater support in 2003 for the Scottish Tories, the Lib Dems and the Scottish Socialist Party.
