Ipsos MORI spending review poll

There is a snap Ipsos-MORI poll out, carried out last night after the spending review.

41% thought that the government had made the right decisions, 38% that they had made the wrong decisions. MORI also asked about a few of the specific measures - 73% supported ending child benefits for people earning over £44,000, 61% supporting reducing spending on benefits by £7bn, 60% supported increasing the state pension age to 66 by 2020.Less popular was cutting spending on the police by 4% each year (supported by only 34% and opposed by 62%), and cutting public sector jobs by 490,000, where support and opposition were pretty evenly matched - 45% supported, 47% opposed.

There are also some trackers, which I wouldn't pay too much regard to (changes there might be a result of the spending review, but could equally just be a result of a very small, quick sample producing strange things - notably the weighted sample included more people claiming to have voted Labour in 2010 than Conservative, not typical of MORI's polls).

There will, naturally, be a lot more polling to come on this in the next few days. YouGov's poll for the Sun tonight will have the first regular sample and first voting intention numbers conducted after the review, while weekend polls will be conducted after people have seen newspaper reaction and the political arguments afterwards.

UPDATE: There are also a new set of Scottish Voting intention figures out, topline figures are

Westminster: CON 18%, LAB 44%, LDEM 7%, SNP 26% Holyrood constituency: CON 14%, LAB 40%, LDEM 8%, SNP 34% Holyrood Regional: CON 15%, LAB 36%, LDEM 8%, SNP 31%, Green 6% UPDATE2: Gary Gibbon on Channel 4 has talked about polls plural tonight with bad news for the Lib Dems - so there may be more than just the YouGov/Sun poll to come. Or Gary might just have been being imprecise with his language.
