The best "measure" we have right now for the percentage of independentists (and the one I assume you're implicitly citing) were the last Catalan elections the 27th of september of 2015. There are two problems with that measure:

- That was two years ago

- Even then, that was a parlamentary election, not a referendum.

This <50% metric has been widely cited by the media, but it is flawed IMO.

I think it is reasonable to demand a proper referendum, whether you want independence or not.

I'm not disputing at all that it's reasonable to have a referendum, and I understand that a huge majority there wants that, if, for some, only to vote against independence.
