Yesterday we published Tory members' verdict on the Autumn Statement. Today we publish answers to the question; WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING WILL BE ACHIEVED BY THE END OF THE PARLIAMENT? Members aren't optimistic...

• The Universal Benefit will have been introduced and it will pay for people to leave welfare and take a job: 57% yes, 26% no
• Retired people will enjoy fair pensions from the state: 47% yes, 37% no
• Britain's schools will be much closer to world class standards: 48% yes, 41% no
• Britain will be growing at a reasonably healthy rate: 37% yes, 43% no
• Conservatives will be in an election-winning position: 33% yes, 30% no
• The deficit will be back under control: 29% yes, 58% no
• Britain will be on the verge of repatriating significant powers from Europe: 21% yes, 64% no
• Net immigration will be cut from the hundreds of the thousands to the tens of thousands: 15% yes, 74% no

Do these results reflect a cynicism towards all politicians? Suspicion of the Coalition's resolve to make the necessary tough calls? Or simply a gritty realism that economic misery means everything is going to be very difficult to achieve?

1,340 Tory members all polled on Wednesday.
