Biden Gets Destroyed in New Poll That’s the Worst Yet, as Gas Prices Soar to Incredible Amounts – Opinion

Joe Biden’s approach to the rising gas prices has largely been to try to blame Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, even though prices were on the rise long before that.

Biden’s only response to the lower price was to deplete emergency supplies and release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Biden stated that he would be releasing one million barrels per day over six months. He probably hoped this would lower prices, before the election. But it hasn’t done that and Biden hasn’t done anything to change his policies against the energy sector that are part of the problem. Biden continues to oppose oil drilling and cancel leases. His approach has been criticized by Senator Joe Manchin, D-WV.

A new ABC/Ipsos poll shows that Biden’s numbers have gotten even worse on everything, particularly inflation and gas prices. These numbers were already so bad that CNN had to criticize Biden’s approach. But now he’s at 28 percent disapproval when it comes to inflation, with 71 percent disapproval, and when it comes to gas prices, 27 percent approval and 72 percent disapproval.

Eighty-three percent say that the economy is “extremely or very important” to how they will vote, and 80 percent say inflation is “extremely or very important” to how they will vote. Seventy-four percent say gas prices are “extremely or very important.”

It’s bad, and the Republicans are leading in the enthusiasm gap as well for the midterms, another killer number for the Democrats. They are being sunk by Biden.

Democrats can talk all they want about other issues and try to deflect, but it’s the pocketbook issues that are leading people’s concerns–which the Democrats can’t hide or cover up.

A Mendocino station in California charges just below ten dollars for gas, with a price of $9.60 per gallon Friday. Judy Schlafer, the owner of this station in Mendocino, California says she spent $50,000 to get an 8880-gallon shipment. It would have been $30,000. Three months prior, it was $50,000. She said if she doesn’t charge that price, she’s out of business. “I’m going to be lucky if I make the year with all the fees, the regulation, the payroll fees,” Schlafer said. “If it continues the way it is, Mendocino won’t have a gas station next year.”

While that’s the most expensive in the country, the state average is up to $6.30 and the national average is now $4.82.

BREAKING: The gas price has risen by a third since Joe Biden was elected to office.

It’s hard to get around how bad all that is and how much it is affecting everyone. What makes it worse on top of all that is how Biden just doesn’t seem to give a darn and says things like it’s an “incredible transition” to his fossil free world or claims more people are “feeling financially comfortable.” It’s that deflection that is making Americans even angrier at Joe Biden.
