FT survey finds public back construction not the City

Public opinion opposes government bail-outs of banks and insurers, a survey for the FT has found.

  • 36% backed state aid for banks
  • 20% supported bailouts for insurers.
  • 40% backed support for car makers but only 7% strongly supported it compared with 27% strongly opposed.

The only area where a majority of British respondents favoured state intervention was construction.
