Majority Believe Biden Deliberately Allowing Gas Price Surge to Push Americans Away from Fossil Fuels
(Austin, TX—June 10, 2022) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted May 25th through May 29th of over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters.
“Surging gas prices are creating immense hardships both for everyday Americans and for our economy at large. This stunning data reveals that a majority of voters believe our gas crisis is by design. Specifically, that President Biden is intentionally allowing gas prices to continue to rise in order to advance the political agenda of Washington, DC special interests. The hard-to-fathom, surreal idea that Washington, DC is working against the American people explains why Biden’s poll numbers are in the tank,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action. “The coming midterm elections are not a referendum on one party or another, but rather a moment of national accountability in which those seeking election–or reelection–will have to prove their willingness to fight for solutions that once again benefit the American people.”
