Yes side on track for double-digit referendum win

Government nerves about the fiscal treaty have been eased by a series of weekend polls which show the yes side still on track to win Thursday’s referendum.

Three separate polls indicate the yes side has a double-digit lead with just three days of campaigning left before voters go to the polls.

While there are also significant numbers of people undecided, it would take a dramatic swing in the final days of the campaign for the treaty to be defeated.
