NEW: Brits have given their verdict on the March 6th Budget.

The public is fairly split on whether the budget was fair (27%) or not fair (32%), and on whether the measures outlined by the Chancellor were affordable (28%) or not (33%) for the country.https://t.co/ZautXMiRyK pic.twitter.com/uTo5wxmNOn

This is despite the individual measures introduced by Chancellor Jeremy Hunt at the despatch box generally being popular.

Of the measures polled only freezing alcohol duty, keeping the planned 1% public spending increase, and cutting rates of capital gains tax did not poll well.… pic.twitter.com/ExoWCpbCs9

The public are also less positive about the job that Jeremy Hunt is doing as Chancellor than they were in the Autumn of last year.

He is doing a good job: 16% (-6pts vs Autumn statement polling)
He is doing a bad job: 43% (+10)
Don't know: 42% (-3)https://t.co/ZautXMiRyK pic.twitter.com/Mpanb0qx1R
