Washington Post: Biden said to be increasingly frustrated by dismal poll numbers 

The night before President Biden departed Washington to celebrate Thanksgiving on Nantucket, Mass., he gathered his closest aides for a meeting in the White House residence.

Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and his government are claiming the same thing .... the economy is growing/people are working/industries are being built. And to a certain degree they are right. But for most Americans/Canadians what we see food and general inflation, high interest rates, high mortgage rates, and wage increases that are not keeping pace.
