Most Britons distrust Chancellor: poll

In a devastating blow for the ­Chancellor, the poll also shows the public reckon he is too posh, too out of touch and too arrogant to understand their needs.

The ComRes/Sunday Mirror survey comes after Osborne tried to restore his battered reputation with a £140billion injection into Britain’s banks to jolt the economy back into life.

But 59 percent have blasted him as “out of touch” and 55 percent say he is “too posh” to understand the financial pressures on ordinary people.

A total of 52 percent reckon he comes across as
arrogant and 48 percent believe he has made too many mistakes to be taken seriously.

Just 27 percent believe he is doing a good job in difficult times and only 23 percent are satisfied he is doing well as Chancellor.

Even 43 percent of those who voted Tory in the 2010 election think Osborne is out of touch.

His dwindling appeal helped boost Labour and its leader Ed Miliband to a 10-point lead over David Cameron’s Conservatives in the poll.

Labour are up one point on 42 percent, with the Tories on 32 percent and the Lib Dems down two points on just nine percent.

The poll would give Labour a comfortable 110-seat Commons ­majority at a General Election.
