Yesterday, we blogged on the apparent widespread public acceptamce of what's going to be a frugal Budget when Bill English delivers it in a fortnight.
Today, there's another Stuff poll that has been even more emphatic, and responded to in even greater numbers (almost 19,000 at the time we took this screenshot) providing an more statistically valid outcome.

I like anons style. Keep him/her on.
