Following Rachel Reeves’ Spring Statement, a recent Opinium poll revealed that 43% of the public viewed the statement negatively, significantly more than those who viewed it positively. Despite the negative perception, many specific policies within the statement, such as cracking down on tax avoidance, received public support. However, there is considerable concern regarding the potential negative impacts on vulnerable populations, particularly disabled people and those with lower incomes. This contradictory sentiment indicates the public's unease with the government's fiscal strategy despite approval for some individual measures.
Despite the government's Spring Statement policies being generally supported, a significant portion of the public believes they will negatively impact vulnerable groups, particularly disabled individuals and those on lower incomes.
The latest Opinium polling reveals that a majority of the public perceives the Spring Statement unfavorably, with only 12% viewing it positively, indicating deep dissatisfaction with the Chancellor's fiscal agenda.
Critics have expressed concern over the government’s perceived lack of direction, as indicated by Britain’s mixed feelings towards the Spring Statement. A significant proportion of respondents answered 'Not Sure' when asked for their views.
Public sentiment towards some of the policies in the Spring Statement is positive, particularly on measures against tax avoidance, yet overall approval is low, suggesting a disconnect between policy and public confidence.
