London - British consumers have turned more upbeat as faster pay growth and very low inflation make them more confident about their finances, a poll showed on Thursday, little more than two months before a national election.
Economic optimism rebounded strongly in February and stood at its highest level since September, according to the Household Economic Activity Tracker compiled by polling firm YouGov.
The proportion of consumers who think their finances worsened over the last month was at its lowest level since YouGov started its survey in 2009.
