THE SNP is more unpopular than Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin among voters who backed Brexit, a poll has revealed.

The UK-wide YouGov survey found that among those who wanted to quit the EU, just 10 per cent view the nationalists very or somewhat favourably.

Meanwhile, 21 per cent said they viewed Nicola Sturgeon's party somewhat unfavourably and a further 52 per cent very unfavourably, translating to a net approval rating of minus 63.

Mr Trump, the Republican nominee for US president who the First Minister stripped of his role as a business ambassador for Scotland after he called for a ban on Muslims entering his country, achieved a rating of minus 59 among those who backed leaving the EU. It makes him slightly less popular than President Putin of Russia, who achieved minus 57 among Brexit voters.

Theresa May, who became Prime Minister after quietly backing Remain, won a favourability rating of plus 39 among Brexit supporters, making her more popular among the group than lead out campaigner Boris Johnson or Ukip. Those in favour of staying in the EU were less positive about Ms May, who gained a minus eight ranking among the demographic.

The SNP as a party achieved a popularity rating of plus one among Remain voters, and minus 29 among all of the 1704 people YouGov surveyed.

Barack Obama is still wildly popular in the United Kingdom, with a net favourable score of plus 46 among all of those surveyed. The US President achieved an approval rating of plus 81 among Remain voters, and plus 16 among Brexit supporters.

The poll was conducted on August 11 and 12.
