The gap has narrowed since a similar poll last month which showed 45.5 per cent were Yes supporters and 54.5 per cent backed No.

But the survey of 1,067 adults found 48 per cent against a rerun of the 2014 plebescite before Brexit compared to 38 per cent in favour.

Mrs May insisted she was committed to working with the devolved administrations adding: "I would also remind him of this point because he constantly refers to the interests of Scotland inside the European Union.
