The poll asked, "How much have you felt the impact of this high inflation in your own life?"
The vast majority, 95 percent, announced it has affected them at least a little, yet of those, 56 percent announced inflation has impacted them "a lot."
There is a consensus across the board, as 98 percent of Republicans, 95 percent of independents, and 94 percent of Democrats say inflation has affected them at least "a little."
The poll was taken August 7-9 among 1,500 United States adult citizens and coincides with the latest report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showing consumer prices rising 8.5 percent over the last year, as Breitbart News detailed:

"Economists had expected CPI to rise at an annual rate of 8.7 percent, down from 9.1 percent in June. They expected a month-over-month increase of 0.2 percent, a sharp decline from the 1.1 percent recorded in June."
"Inflation has hit American families hard by raising prices for everyday necessities like food, gasoline, housing, transportation, and utilities. A sizable decline in the price of gasoline in July, which retreated from record highs hit the prior month, helped bring down the overall rate of inflation. The index for gasoline fell 7.1 percent in July. Compared with a year ago, the gas index is up 44 percent."
