The gasoline price spike feeding Americans' inflation anxiety has the White House scrambling to show voters it's got a plan to ease their pain at the pump
The inflationary pressure has helped drive President Joe Biden's approval polls to just 41 percent, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll released last week. | Evan Vucci/AP PhotoThe gasoline price spike feeding Americans' inflation anxiety has the White House scrambling to show voters it's got a plan to ease their pain at the pump.
That energy price surge is badly timed for the Biden administration, which just a few days earlier was playing a leading role in the U.N. climate negotiations in Glasgow and as Democrats try to pass their $1.75 trillion bill that contains the biggest ever effort to tackle climate change by boosting renewable fuels over oil, natural gas and coal.
The inflationary pressure has helped drive Biden's approval polls to just 41 percent, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll released last week. About half of respondents put the blame for rising inflation on the White House — not the supply chain issues related to the pandemic recovery that most economists say is most responsible for driving up prices.
"The message to Americans is that we’re not just closely and directly monitoring the situation — which, of course, we’ve been doing — but we’re looking at every tool in our arsenal," White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said on Friday.
