Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : With the UK in the grips of a technical recession, Britain's sluggish economy and consequent reduction in predicted tax revenues hit Mr Hunt's plans.
51% : By repeating his previous cut to the tax in his autumn statement, Mr Hunt said the two reductions would together save workers an average of £900 a year, with Wednesday's cut expected to cost the Treasury £10.4bn.
50% : The chancellor also announced plan to raise nearly £3 billion a year through a crackdown on tax breaks for 'non-doms', two years after the Independent revealed the prime minister's wife held the controversial status.
