Fifty-six percent of respondents said the economy was their top issue of concern. Still, only 39 percent of respondents approved of Biden’s management of the economy. Throughout Biden’s Administration, Democrats have struggled to reduce Biden’s 40-year-high inflation, which has been fueled by massive government spending and Coronavirus restrictions. Biden has blamed the price hikes on “Putin’s gas hike,” but that accusation has not stuck. Gas prices, which greatly influence inflation, were already $1.00 greater than the previous year. Since Russia invaded Ukraine, the price of gas has also increased by about 70 cents.

According to a March poll, a plurality of voters (39 percent) blames Biden for the high gas prices. Only 18 percent blame oil companies that have been crushed by newly set lending standards by the administration. The lending standards make it more difficult for oil companies to finance new projects, further increasing the price of oil production.
