LONDON—Scottish support for independence has fallen 4 percentage points, probably due to divisions among Scottish nationalists, but 47 percent of Scots still support breaking up the United Kingdom by going it alone, a poll indicated on Feb. 11.

A Savanta ComRes poll for The Scotsman showed 47 percent would vote for independence and 42 percent would vote against, with 10 percent still undecided.
