Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Voter dissatisfaction, despite strong economic indicators like 3.4% G7 growth and a 4.2% unemployment rate, is attributed to inflation, which has been above target for almost six years. AAA's tracking of energy prices is used to gauge the impact of Donald Trump's political and economic policies.
