No, actually the opposite. The only common people who disliked him were Catholics or those whose relatives he executed for supporting rebellions (or not giving him sons). You have to remember that his rule came after a long and bloody civil war which was still in living memory and his father, whilst efficient and intelligent, was incredibly cold and calculating. Henry, to the common people, was a young boisterous King who had festivals and jousts and then an old but strong man who kept England secured at a time when every minor noble family wanted to become owner of the nation.
