A quarter of SNP voters (24 per cent) are choosing Labour while a further 7 per cent are moving over to the Greens.
According to YouGov's MRP model, the SNP, who have long dominated Scottish politics, could lose 31 of its total seats on July 4 while the Labour Party could gain 33.
This would be a massive win for Labour who only gained one seat in the last general election.
The data shows that the SNP could be entirely ejected from Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, as Labour is set to take all six Glasgow constituencies.
