Inflation and gas prices are the top two family concerns across a wide variety of demographic groups, including income, race, and partisan identity. Inflation as a top concern emerged in Monmouth’s July 2021 poll at 5% and then grew to 14% in December, before more than doubling in the current poll. The current poll is also the first time that gas prices are mentioned by more than a handful of Americans as their predominant issue.
That does not bode well for Democrats as the midterm elections approach, as they have had complete control of Washington D.C. with a majority in the Senate, House, and a Democrat in the White House.
