Turbulent economic times are making New Zealand voters nervous with a majority of people surveyed in the latest OneNews poll seeing little likelihood that the economy will improve over the next 12 months. When asked, 41% were pessimistic that things would improve. Only 36% thought they would. The rest thought the economy would remain about where it is. OneNews’ Colmar Brunton polling hasn’t seen pessimism like that since April 2011 when 45% of voters surveyed saw little likelihood of the economy improving. In May of 2012 voters were evenly split at 38% being optimistic and the same percentage pessimistic.
