Interim results from YouGov's Household Economic Activity Tracker show consumer sentiment dipping back down to negative territory, falling to 98, after briefly touching 100 (values under 100 are negative; values over 100 are positive). This is driven chiefly by a decline in expectations for household financial situation, job security, and business activity over the next 12 months.

We also see little confidence in the government's handling of the economy this month, 46% of people have "less" confidence in the government's handling of the economy compared to one month ago vs. only 8% with more confidence.
