Biden’s America: Rising Prices Causing Nearly Half of Americans to Cut Back on Driving
Hannah Bleau 22 Jul 2022
Nearly half of Americans have been forced to cut back on basic activities such as driving, and over one-third said they have now go grocery shopping less often, an Echelon Insights survey released this week found.
The survey found nearly three-quarters of likely voters expressing the belief that a candidate should focus on economic issues over social issues. Further, 58 percent are at least somewhat less secure in their financial situation than they were one year ago. Of those, 31 percent said they are “much less” secure. Their outlook is not positive either, as 55 percent said they are not confident that their financial situation will be better one year from now.
Sixty percent said the rising prices in President Biden’s America have caused them to “spend less in general,” and 52 percent said the rise in prices has changed their habits, as they eat at restaurants “less often.” Nearly half, 47 percent, said they “drive less often,” and 46 percent said they “go shopping less often.” Notably, the national price of gas stood at $4.413 as of Friday.
Another 46 percent said they have had to spend less on entertainment, and over one-third, 38 percent, said they “go grocery shopping less often” in Biden’s America. Thirty-four percent said they have had to put less money in savings due to rising prices, and over a quarter said rising prices have caused them to cancel or change vacation plans.
The survey was taken July 15-18 2022, among 1,022 likely voters and has a +/- 3.4 percent margin of error.
