Fox News Poll: High concern over higher prices
Fox News
The latest Fox News poll shows that voter concern over inflation remains sky high, and more voters blame higher prices on the COVID-19 pandemic than on the government.
Nearly half, 47 percent, say the message they would like to give the federal government is "leave me alone," up from 36 percent a year ago. On the other side, 44 percent say they would tell the government "lend me a hand." That’s down significantly from 57 percent who felt that way last August. That shift comes almost completely from Republicans. A year ago, they were more likely to ask the government to "leave me alone" than "lend a hand" by a slim 3-point margin (48-45 percent). Now, Republicans are firmly in the back-off camp by 56 points (75-19 percent). Some 69 percent of Democrats would tell the government "lend me a hand." It was 71 percent in 2020.More Related News
