A new survey has confirmed what your gas receipt already suspected: a hefty chunk of Americans think President Trump is responsible for the current economic vibes, which remain somewhere between "concerning" and "please stop."

The Politico/Public First poll, released Thursday, found that 43 percent of respondents said Trump is mostly or fully responsible for the state of the economy. The partisan split was as predictable as a sunrise: 19 percent of Republicans and 70 percent of Democrats held him accountable. Another 16 percent split the blame equally between Trump and former President Biden, while 29 percent pointed the finger more at Biden.

When asked to name the top issue facing the country, a majority chose the cost of living. About 27 percent picked the "poor state" of the economy, and 22 percent selected high taxes. So essentially, Americans are worried about money, money, and also money.

The timing is awkward, to say the least. The Trump administration is trying to soothe affordability concerns ahead of the midterms, all while U.S. military operations against Iran strain global energy supplies and a tariff fight with Canada grinds on. Trump has repeatedly blamed unfavorable economic reports on the Biden administration and promised that energy prices which have skyrocketed during the Iran war "will drop precipitously" when the months-long conflict ends.

During a Wednesday campaign event in North Carolina, Trump told supporters that higher gas prices were a "very inexpensive price to pay" for the military operations. Because nothing says "affordable" like paying more at the pump.

This week, regular unleaded gas jumped from a national average of $4.31 to $4.43 in just four days, according to AAA. The national average price of diesel shot up by 42 cents over the last week.

The Politico poll was conducted Sept. 13-15 across a sample of 2,064 Americans. The margin of error is about 2.2 percentage points.
