() A new survey found a stunningly high percentage of Americans who voiced at least some concern about runaway inflation, with most of them certain that Democrats are not up to the task of fixing the issue.

According to the poll of more than 1,000 adults conducted by The Washington Post and ABC News between April 24-28, fully 94 percent of respondents said they were either “upset” or “concerned” about the impact of skyrocketing prices on their households.
The Daily Wire notes:
The poll asked respondents: “Thinking about the current rate of inflation, meaning rising prices – is this something you are upset about, concerned about but not upset, or not concerned about?” Some 44% of adults said they were “upset” about inflation. Another 50% said they were “concerned but not upset,” and just 6% said they were not concerned.
The poll also asked respondents their opinion of how President Joe Biden was handling his job as president. Biden’s overall approval was underwater by 10 points: 42% of voters approved of Biden’s job, while 52% disapproved. Broken down by intensity, Americans had much stronger negative feelings about Biden than positive. Respondents who approved of Biden were evenly split: 21% strongly approved of Biden’s job, while 21% somewhat approved. Respondents who disapproved were much more intense: 42% of respondents strongly disapproved, while just 10% somewhat disapproved.
The president’s approval for a range of other issues also was substantially lower. While he got good numbers for his handling of the pandemic — 51 percent approved while 43 percent disapproved — he was nevertheless underwater on every other issue.
Just 42 percent approved of his handling of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine versus 47 percent who did not; Only 41 percent approved of Biden’s job regarding job creation versus 46 percent who disapproved; on the overall handling of the economy, only 38 percent of respondents gave Biden a positive review but 57 percent did not; on inflation generally, 28 percent approved of the president while a staggering 68 percent disapproved.
“The poll also asked respondents which party they trusted more on key issues, finding that Republicans had double-digit leads in trust on several key issues. On the economy, 50% of Americans said they trusted the Republican Party more, compared to 36% of people who said they trusted the Democratic Party more,” The Daily Wire continued, citing the survey.
“A plurality of Americans, 47%, said they trusted Republicans more on crime, while 35% said they trusted Democrats more. Americans trusted Republicans to handle inflation specifically, by a massive 19-point margin: 50% of respondents favored Republicans to handle the issues, while just 31% favored Democrats. Americans also slightly favored Republicans on immigration, with 43% of adults favoring Republicans and 40% favoring Democrats,” the outlet continued.
Biden’s job approval ratings, and those of Vice President Kamala Harris, have been cratering for months as economic and inflationary pressures continue to rise throughout the country. Gas prices remain high but the price of diesel fuel is even higher and the latter significantly impacts the cost of transporting goods to market, which in turn causes manufacturers and retailers to raise prices in order to compensate.
In fact, late last month a separate survey indicated that Biden’s approval is so bad it’s possible he may not win his party’s nomination to run again in 2024.
As reported by the Washinton Examiner’s Paul Bedard in his “Secrets” column, “stuck with an unpopular president and a weak replacement bench, Democratic voters appear to be throwing their hands up in frustration when it comes to who they would like as their 2024 nominee.”
Bedard cited a new I&I/TIPP survey showing that just 29 percent of respondents picked Biden, while tied for second place with Harris was “Not Sure.”
Mind you, Bedard reminded readers, “that’s Biden’s base.” If Republicans and Independents are tossed into the mix, Biden drops to 19 percent in the national survey, and is handily beaten by “Not Sure” with 28 percent.
