Several recent polls have shown its support climbing a few points, but according to the most recent &quot;poll of polls&quot; on Aug. 15, based on an average of the last six polls and excluding undecided respondents, support for the pro-independence camp stands at 43 percent against 57 percent for opponents. &quot;It's the last real public chance to reach a large audience,&quot; Patrick Brione, director of research at pollster Survation, said of Monday's TV debate.</p><br clear="all"/>
