Poll finds half of Americans blame Trump for gas price surge
TL;DR Summary
A Morning Consult flash poll cited by Axios shows about 48% of Americans blame President Trump for current high gas prices, the leading attribution among respondents. Some 74% say prices have risen this year, with regular gas around $3.60 per gallon after an 11-day rise. The poll frames the spike as a war-driven price shock that could become a political liability for the White House, which argues disruptions are temporary and prices will fall as conflicts subside.
