Voters Blame Biden–Not Putin–for Historic Inflation
Voters Blame Biden–Not Putin–for Historic Inflation
(Austin, TX—MAY 31, 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.
“President Lincoln reminded Americans that you can’t fool all of the people all of the time, and that is certainly reflected in these numbers. Despite being told every day that Putin is responsible for virtually anything they’re not happy with–from inflation to baby formula to gas prices–a sizable majority of voters clearly believe it is President Biden and the Democrats, and not Moscow, who are responsible,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action. “The failure of Biden’s Administration to take simple, common-sense steps to bring Americans relief is both cruel and indefensible. No doubt, the people’s anger at Democrat policies will be reflected at the polls in November.”
