Not OP but yes and yes. I don't have access to the exact figures right now but I believe they were about 41% yes and 47% no. They were also only expecting around a 40% turnout but estimates place turnout post Spanish response at approximately 60% (though counted votes ended up being around 2.2 million of a 7.5 million population with exact numbers unknown due to polling station closures and ballot box confiscations.
I also believe that regardless of yes / no intention 89% or so of Catalan people want to put the issue to rest via vote.
Essentially they made terrible decisions every step of the way.
Living and working in Barcelona (not a Spanish or Catalan national myself, but with all my friends and family being so) I saw a large amount of people have their vote swayed in the space of a week in response primarily to the behaviour of the Spanish government.
Apologies for the lack of sources (I am at work) if anyone sees anything incorrect please feel free to address it.
