Poll: One in five expect economy to improve

ONE-in-five people expect the economy to improve in the next six months as a poll shows consumers are beginning to perk up.

According to the latest credit crunch report issued by Red C yesterday, one-in- three people are likely to increase their spending as a result of a more positive outlook on the economy.

However, the poll of 1,000 people found more people than ever expect to be impacted by the recession.
