LABOUR are set to lose all but one of its seats in Scotland, according to a new poll.
The Panelbase study for the Sunday Times suggested that only Ian Murray will be returned to the House of Commons.
The SNP are on track to pick up 41 seats, the research suggests, while almost half of all those surveyed said Scottish independence would be a "good opportunity" for the country, at 45%, while just 24% said the same of Brexit.
Murray, a frequent critic of leader Jeremy Corbyn, was the sole Labour MP north of the border in 2015.
The poll, which surveyed 1009 people in Scotland, found that support for the Labour Party in Scotland could dip from 27% to 20%.
According to analysis from Strathclyde University Professor Sir John Curtice, the SNP are also on course for another electoral win in Scotland, seeing their seat count rise from 35 to 41 after December 12 if there is a uniform swing across Scotland, with support rising from 37% to 40%.
According to the poll, Scotland's ruling party could lose North East Fife, the seat with the smallest majority in the UK, with Stephen Gethins holding just two more votes over his LibDem rival in 2017.
The First Minister was on the campaign trail with Gethins on Saturday in his constituency.
The poll has the seat being won by the LibDems, taking the party's Scottish total to five, while overall support will rise from 7% to 11%.
The Conservatives are expected to lose just one seat in Scotland, with Stirling predicted to move from Stephen Kerr to SNP MEP Alyn Smith.
If the poll is found to be correct, the party's support will also drop by one percentage point, to 28%.
The poll also found the First Minister to be the only party leader with a positive approval rating at +3%.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson's popularity rose slightly from -36% to -34%, while the Labour leader also improved but still found himself trailing the Tory leader on -41%.
On the issues voters believe to be harmful to the UK, 37% of Scots said Scottish independence, with 39% saying the same of Brexit.
Responding to the poll Kirsty Blackman, the SNP's deputy Westminster leader, said: "Only the SNP can beat the Tories in Scotland.
"While we take nothing for granted, the SNP are in a strong position – and we're well and truly the party with the momentum.
"This poll underlines the fact that neither Labour nor the LibDems can take seats off the Tories.
"Boris Johnson is desperate to get a majority, force through a disastrous Brexit and inflict yet more years of Tory misery on Scotland.
"The only way to stop him is to unite around the SNP and help lock him out of Downing Street."
