CNN in poll gaffe as US network suggest Scotland gives 110 per cent in referendum

US television network CNN made an embarrassing gaffe as its 'poll of polls' came up with some suspect mathematics.

During a live broadcast, the channel claimed No had 52 per cent of the vote - and Yes was set for a whopping 58 per cent share.

Unsurprisingly, the poll was mocked remorselessly online.

One Twitter user posted: "CNN posted a poll of polls... No 52%, Yes 58%. Scotland are giving it 110%."

The network later corrected the mistake in subsequent poll, to reflect the 52/48 per cent split it recorded in favour of the No campaign.
