"A new poll from NPR, PBS News and Marist shows that 81% of Americans say gas prices are a strain on their household budgets. And a majority say that the economy is not working well for them personally."
"Gas prices are hitting pretty much everyone. I mean, unlike most other things, there's relatively no partisan divide here on this. Four out of 5 Republicans say gas prices are hurting their budgets too."
"Sixty-one percent say the area where they live just isn't affordable for the average family. Sixty-three percent say the economy is not working well for them personally, and that's the worst score we've seen in the poll on that question."
An NPR/PBS News/Marist poll reveals that 81% of Americans say gas prices significantly strain their household budgets, with the Iran War affecting oil tanker passage and global fuel costs. The poll shows 63% of Americans blame President Trump for price increases, including approximately one-third of Republicans. Beyond gas prices, 61% say their area is unaffordable for average families, and 63% report the economy is not working well for them personally—the worst score recorded on this question. Groups most affected include white women without college degrees, those earning under $50,000 annually, and millennials. These demographics previously gave Trump positive job approval ratings in February 2025 following his second-term inauguration but have since shifted their views.
