Data guru says more Americans blame Trump for higher gas prices than they did under Bush, Obama, Biden

Harry Enten said the share blaming Trump for gas prices is the highest ever recorded, with majorities of Republicans, independents and Democrats agreeing.

  • On Friday, CNN analyst Harry Enten reported that 77% of Americans blame President Donald Trump for rising gas prices following the February 28 launch of Operation Epic Fury against Iran.
  • The conflict, initiated February 28, triggered a dual blockade on the Strait of Hormuz by the United States Navy and Iranian forces, driving gas prices up more than 47% to $4.39 per gallon.
  • Unprecedented bipartisan consensus shows 55% of Republicans and 82% of independents hold the President responsible, surpassing historical blame for former Presidents George W. Bush , Barack Obama , and Joe Biden .
  • A CNN/SSRS survey shows the President's economic approval at a record low of 31%, while Napolitan News Service polling indicates a majority of Americans now trust Democrats over Republicans on fiscal management.
  • Voters increasingly hold the President accountable as 63% now disapprove of economic handling. As the buck stops at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, these pressures narrow the President's room to pursue or defend Iran policy.
