<p>More than 8 in 10 people in the United States are facing hardships over inflation, according to a new poll.</p>
<p>The poll of more than 1000 registered voters, conducted between March 18-20 by <a href="https://emersonpolling.reportablenews.com/pr/national-poll-march-2022-us-voters-report-increased-hardship-as-prices-rise-blame-biden-for-gas-prices">Emerson College</a>, also found that a plurality of voters blame the Biden administration for soaring gas prices and think the economy, including inflation, is the most pressing issue in the country right now. A majority of voters also believed the Biden administration should prioritize domestic issues like the economy over concerns about the Russian invasion of Ukraine.</p>
<p>On <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/inflation-soars-7-9-in-past-12-months-new-40-year-high">inflation</a> and price hikes, the poll asked voters, &#8220;have increased prices of everyday items caused you or your household any hardship this month?&#8221; More than 8 in 10 respondents, 83% said yes; 40% said price increases have caused them significant hardship, and another 43% said they were facing some hardship. Voters were also asked about the recent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-u-s-national-average-price-of-gasoline-hits-new-all-time-record-high-report-says">surge in gas prices</a> and who they blamed for it. Nearly 4 in 10 voters, 39%, blamed rising gas prices on the Biden administration. Another 21% of voters blamed the price hikes on gas and oil sanctions placed by the Biden administration and Western allies against Russia. About 18% of voters blamed them on oil and gas companies, and 8.5% blamed them on COVID-19.</p>
<p>Voters were also asked what they believed the most important issue facing the country was. A plurality of voters, 36.6% said the economy was the most important issue. Another 14% of voters said healthcare was most important, and 12% said the war between Russia and Ukraine. None of the other issues listed, including education, crime, COVID-19, or immigration, reached double digits in terms of priority.</p>
<p>On the issue of COVID-19 specifically, voters were asked, &#8220;how much of a threat to public health in the United States do you believe Coronavirus is?&#8221; Fewer than 1 in 4 voters, just 23.7%, said COVID-19 was a major threat. The plurality of voters, 36.7%, said the pandemic was a moderate public health threat; about 25% of voters said it was a minor threat, and about 14% said it was not a threat.</p>
<p>On the Russian invasion of Ukraine, voters were asked to react to the news that President Joe Biden was going to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/taking-veeps-place-biden-to-head-to-europe-for-nato-talks">attend the NATO summit</a> this week. A majority of voters, fully 59%, agreed that Biden should attend the summit; just 20% said he should not, and 21% were unsure or had no opinion.</p>
<p>Voters were also concerned about the potential for a nuclear conflict: 33% were very concerned, and 47% were somewhat concerned. A clear majority, 69%, supported the idea of the U.S. accepting refugees from Ukraine, while just 16% said the U.S. should not accept Ukrainian refugees. However, voters still believed that Biden should focus on domestic issues over the Russian invasion. A majority, 51% said Biden should focus on domestic issues, while 35% said he should focus on Ukraine. 14% had no opinion.</p>
<p>The poll found that Biden had a 42.7% approval rating, with a 48.6% disapproval rating, but also found that Republicans and former President Donald Trump had slight advantages in the 2022 and 2024 elections. Republicans held a 5-point advantage in the generic 2022 Congressional ballot, 47%-42%, the poll found. Trump, meanwhile, had a double-digit favorability rating over Biden, 59%-47%, and in a hypothetical 2024 Presidential matchup, Trump held a 3-point advantage over Biden, 45%-42%.</p>
