Pew Research says inflation is by far the #1 issue in America at this time. “The public views inflation as the top problem facing the United States – and no other concern comes close,” said Pew in research released on 5.12.2022. Viewed through the lens of those who are Democrats or who lean Democratic or Republican or who lean toward the GOP in their voting, 57 percent of Dem supporters and 84 percent of Republican backers see inflation as the number 1 issue. The overall average of voters that worry about inflation is 70 percent, said Pew. Other items on people’s minds, per that and other surveys, are also reflections of rising costs, i.e.: the effects of inflation.
With concerns over inflation and the economic pressures from rising food, fuel, and a lack of affordable housing in mind, perhaps it is no surprise that the University of Michigan Consumer Survey showed a sharp drop since last month. As the featured image at the top reveals, the currently poor mood of Americans is not far from the all-time lows for the survey’s reports that span over 60 years.
With Democratic strategist James Carville’s classic 1992 “It’s the economy, stupid” observation in mind, it is worth noting the correlation between the consumer sentiment highs achieved during President Donald J. Trump’s term of office (again, see featured image above) were near the highest in the 21st century. Under the Biden Administration, that has dramatically reversed. While Joe Biden himself, and the White House communications team, have attempted to blame inflation on Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump Republicans, business and others, public opinion polls indicate that voters aren’t buying that party line. As Trump supporter, pundit, and talk radio personality Wayne Allen Root has called Biden the best seller of support in Republican Party principles; better than Presidents Ronald Reagan or Trump, both of whom Root admires.
