Is President Joe Biden most responsible for skyrocketing inflation in the United States?
Many Americans seem to think so, says a new poll.
According to a Morning Consult/Politico poll, 62 percent of registered U.S. voters say the president’s policies are very or somewhat responsible for soaring inflation.
A little more than one-quarter (28 percent) said the White House is not too responsible or not at all to blame for soaring prices.
Here are some other results, courtesy of Newsmax:
Although 85% of Republicans said the Biden administration is somewhat or very responsible for increasing inflation, most Independents (61%) also share that view, as do a sizable minority of Democrats (41%).
In a separate question, about half (48%) said that Americans returning to pre-pandemic behaviors are very responsible or somewhat responsible for increasing inflation.
Among the respondents, 38% said this factor was not too responsible or not responsible at all for higher prices. Fourteen percent said they did not know.
Compounding problems for the Biden administration, 89% of those surveyed said they are very concerned or somewhat concerned about inflation, with only 11% saying they are not too concerned or not concerned at all about the issue.
When asked, generally speaking, if things in the United States are going in the right direction, only 38% said they were, while 62% said they have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track.
Is Biden responsible? He is a contributing factor, and so was former President Donald Trump. But the primary component in all of this has been the Federal Reserve.
