A CBS News and YouGov survey of registered voters indicates that the majority of Americans believe Joe Biden’s ideas would result in higher pricing.
With the third anniversary of the inflation explosion that drove real wages plummeting and the cost of living skyrocketing, most registered voters in the United States believe that Biden’s policies would result in price increases. Less than 5% believe his proposals will result in lower costs.
According to the results of a CBS-YouGov survey conducted on Sunday, 55% of registered voters believe that Biden’s proposals would result in higher costs. Thirteen percent think his measures will result in lower pricing. Twenty-seven percent believed there would be no impact from his proposals.
That means 82 percent of respondents believe Biden’s initiatives will either have no effect on pricing or will actually raise it.
The expected Republican nominee, Donald Trump, does much better on the contentious topic of inflation.
Of registered voters, 44% believe his measures would result in lower pricing. Only 34% believe that his proposals will result in higher pricing. Twenty-two percent believe there will be no impact from Trump’s plans.
When it comes to who will drive up costs, Trump has a 21-point advantage. On the other hand, when it comes to price declines, Trump has a 27-point advantage.
