Public more concerned than reassured after Budget, poll suggests
Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt leaves 11 Downing Street, London, with his ministerial box and members of his ministerial team
MORE Brits are concerned than reassured about their personal finances following this week’s Budget, a new poll published today reveals.
Just 13 per cent of people told Ipsos they feel better about their cash flow situation following Tory Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s address on Wednesday, and only 12 per cent think Britain’s austerity-hit public services are back on track.
More than a third — 35 per cent — are now more worried about the economy and the NHS, schools and other public services, as opposed to 22 per cent feeling more positive, the survey of 1,000 adults found.
