Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : Jeremy Hunt has spent weeks managing expectations over potential tax cuts in his spring budget, with Tory MPs desperately searching for ways to avoid election defeat as household finances buckle under a record tax bill and the cost of living crisis.
42% : The forecasts also rely on fuel taxes rising, which has not happened since 2011, and there is no real growth in public spending per head over the next five years, with departments set to see real-terms budget cuts of 2.3% a year from 2024-25.
