Poll Shows White House Failed In Convincing Americans To Blame It All On 'Putin's Price Hike'

Voters were asked, “Who bears the responsibility for higher fuel prices?”

A total of 51% answered Biden, with the oil companies (26%) and Russian President Vladimir Putin (15%) a distant second and third, respectively, Rasmussen Reports announced Wednesday.

“The average price of a gallon of gasoline, which was $2.20 in November 2020, rose to $3.50 by November 2021, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, and is now $4.21,” Rasmussen Reports stated.

A sum of “61% think Biden has not done enough to stop the rising price of gasoline, home heating oil, and other petroleum products, while just 27% believe Biden has done enough,” according to the report.
