Fifty-six percent of Americans say President Joe Biden’s 40-year-high inflation has caused them hardship, up from 49 percent in January and 45 percent in November, a Gallup poll found this week.
To blunt Joe Biden’s rising prices, Americans arecuts to the lives they lived under former President Donald Trump. The poll found 24 percent of respondents have reduced spending, buying less or simply purchasing just essential items.

Another 10 percent have reduced eating out. Seven percent of respondents said they have attempted to offset inflation by working longer hours, working a second job, or finding a new job. Three percent have put off medical procedures, while another three percent have put off purchasing a house or making home improvements. Two percent have downsized their house or have used credit cards to stay afloat.America is in a recession, prices have skyrocketed, and gas prices remain well over $1/gallon higher than when Biden took office.
