New poll shows minority support for Con Dem cuts

According to new polling and analysis by the Fabian Society, around half of Conservative voters disagree with the “Conservative ideology of rolling back the state”. 69% of voters (including 56% of Conservative voters) think the spending cuts should only be temporary and that “the Government should increase spending on public services again when the public finances are in better shape”
