I think this is true but it ignores two other things:
Difference between individual measures being popular and whole package being popular - voters don't trust too many expensive spending pledges, and
Additional political capital from confounding expectations. Like it or not, people seem to give Tories more credit for spending pledges than Lab because it's less expected.
Not saying this means abandon 2017 pledges, but it's not as simple as saying "this was popular so don't change anything"
