MORI show economic optimism returning

On top of the new Harris this morning, there is also a new MORI poll CON 38%(-1), LAB 21%(-4), LDEM 19%(nc). Changes are from the MORI poll for Unison a week ago. Others remain at 22%, and as usual the largest chunk is going to UKIP on 8%, followed by the Greens and BNP, both on 5%.

Perhaps more interestingly, significantly more people (41%) said they thought the economy would get better over the next twelve months, with only 30% saying it would get better - the highest figure MORI have recorded in 12 years. I am conscious that I've promised to do an updated post looking more broadly at the latest economic optimism figures and haven't delivered yet, but these figures certainly suggest that the public think the economy is bottoming out and due to start recovering.
