The economy is obviously going to be a factor and Joe would have you believe that inflation is Trump's fault.

‘Drives me absolutely insane’: Sticker shock at the pump as gas prices up over 50% since Biden took office

Rising gas prices under President Biden's watch have led some Americans to face "painful" and "ridiculous" receipts at the pump, drivers at a Virginia gas station told Fox News.

"There's no saving," Donovan said, adding that the cost is "killing" his bottom line. "Gas price has to go back down in order for everybody to really maintain."

"Paychecks are not rising," the Virginian said. "It takes about two or three checks to cover all the bills instead of just one." .....

........On Wednesday, gas prices were over 50% higher than when Biden was inaugurated, according to AAA. The national average for a gallon of gas was nearly $3.62, up from $2.39 on Jan. 20, 2021, when the president was sworn in.

"That's more money out of the pocket that I can be spending on groceries and other everyday items that I need," Davis, of Washington, D.C., said. "You definitely feel it."

A Florida man said he can afford the price surges but knows many families are struggling. The cost of filling up his Chevrolet Suburban "drives me absolutely insane," he added.

"I do fairly well in business, and I just feel for all the people who are trying to make ends meet," he said. "I can make it work, though it's painful, but I don't know how the young family of four gets along. Not just with this inflation, but with all inflation.".................

Gas will never be below 3.00 ever again even if Trump is elected. Oil prices was artificially low under Trump and oil cos burned through a trillion dollars of cash reserves because gas was selling for less than it cost to pump and refine. 
Trump said at a rally this year the oil cos did not like him when he was President.
