VOTERS across the UK find the SNP leader more favourable than Jo Swinson and Nigel Farage, according to a new YouGov study.
From December 13-14, researchers asked 1628 members of the public if they had favourable or unfavourable opinions of the main party leaders involved in the General Election.
Only 140 participants were from Scotland.
Every politician had a higher percentage of people holding an unfavourable opinion of them, but some performed better in the favourability rankings than others.

Some 28% of voters said they thought of Nicola Sturgeon favourably, while Brexit Party leader Farage received 27% and Jo Swinson received 24%.
Meanwhile, the difference in opinion between the UK as a whole and Scotland was striking.
While 63% of the UK-wide respondents said they thought of Farage in a negative way, that number rose to 73% in Scotland.
And while 55% of people in the UK-wide poll said they held an unfavourable opinion of Swinson, that number again rose in Scotland to 66%.
The biggest change was in Prime Minister Boris Johnson's rankings.
Some 40% of UK voters said they thought of him favourably, dropping to 25% in Scotland. The percentage of people who thought of him unfavourably also rose from 52% across the UK to 69% in Scotland.
