Not really. The economy is in much better shape than it looked just a couple of years ago, and that is what has made this possible.
I dare say that Cameron would not even think of making this pledge if he didn't mean it. It does depend on the Conservatives getting a majority, though. Another coalition will only dilute everything as happened in the current parliament.
