An Ipsos poll conducted from April 15 to 20 reveals that 77% of registered voters in the United States hold President Donald Trump responsible for the recent surge in gasoline prices, which have risen to approximately $4 per gallon. This increase is linked to escalating tensions and military actions involving Iran, which have disrupted global oil supplies. The poll surveyed 4,557 U.S. adults, including 3,577 registered voters, and has a margin of error of two percentage points. Notably, the perception of blame spans party lines, with 55% of Republicans, 82% of independents, and 95% of Democrats attributing some responsibility to Trump. The political implications are significant, as 58% of respondents indicated they would be less likely to support candidates who endorse Trump's approach to the Iran conflict in the upcoming November 3 midterm elections. Additionally, 77% of Americans view rising fuel prices as a major concern, while 82% express anxiety over inflation. The Republican Party's historical advantage on economic issues has eroded, with only 38% of voters now favoring their economic policies compared to 37% for Democrats. This shift poses challenges for Trump's messaging, as affordability has been a key component of his political platform.
