Britons are less pessimistic about the economy - survey
The UK public have shaken off some of their post-referendum
worries, according to IPSOS Mori, the polling company.
Its latest survey has found that 43% of the public expect the economy to
deteriorate over the next 12 months, down from 57% a month ago.

2. And the proportion expecting conditions to improve has risen to 28%, from
23%.
Conservative voters have become particularly optimistic this month,
apparently, perhaps showing they’re happy with Theresa May’s
premiership. But remain supporters, young people and Labour voters are
all still gloomy, according to IPSOS Mori’s Gideon Skinner.
