Gallup Poll: 56% Say Joe Biden’s Inflation Causing Hardship, Up from 45% Last Year Wendell Husebø 9 Sep 2022
Fifty-six percent of Americans say President Joe Biden’s 40-year-high inflation has caused them hardship, up from 49 percent in January and 45 percent in November, a Gallup poll found this week.
The poll sampled 1,500 respondents from August 1-22 with a three point margin of error.
To blunt Joe Biden’s rising prices, Americans are making cuts to the lives they lived under former President Donald Trump. The poll found 24 percent of respondents have reduced spending, buying less or simply purchasing just essential items. Seventeen percent have cut back on vacations, while another 17 percent have reduced gasoline consumption by driving less; eight percent are ‘staying home.”
Some save money during Biden’s inflation by purchasing generic brands of products. Twelve percent have gravitated towards that strategy, while 10 percent are purchasing fewer groceries. Another 10 percent have reduced eating out.
Seven percent of respondents said they have attempted to offset inflation by working longer hours, working a second job, or finding a new job. Three percent have put off medical procedures, while another three percent have put off purchasing a house or making home improvements. Two percent have downsized their house or have used credit cards to stay afloat.
