The Scottish leader's threshold for seeking another poll on breaking with the UK falls short of the bar set by his predecessor, Nicola Sturgeon, who argued more than 50% of the votes should be the trigger to open negotiations with Westminster.
However, recent polling by PanelBase has predicted the SNP will take 21 of the available 59 Scottish seats at the next election - down from their current 45 - while Scottish Labour are predicted to win 26 seats, meaning the SNP could fall short of the benchmark sought by Mr Yousaf.
Speaking to the Sophy Ridge On Sunday programme, he said:"We have put a very simple proposition to the people of Scotland on page one, line one of our manifesto, a vote for the SNP is a vote for Scotland to become an independent country.
