With nine months to go until the midterm elections, Republicans are spotlighting 'Bidenflation' as they take aim at Democrats over continued consumer prices surge.
But Democrats are facing historical headwinds – the party that wins the White House traditionally suffers setbacks in the ensuing midterms – and they’re facing a brutal political climate compounded by the president’s flagging approval ratings.
But voters don’t agree on what’s causing inflation. By 48-42%, more blame government policies than the pandemic, according to the Fox News poll. Democrats pointed to the pandemic, while Republicans cited federal policies. But the jump in wages – skyrocketing 5.7% over the 12 months that ended in January – is still lower that the 7.5% surge in consumer prices.
