President Joe Biden’s attempts to convince the American people that Russian leader Vladimir Putin is responsible for high gas prices and inflation has failed, polling data released Tuesday showed.
“With the biggest single driver of inflation being Putin’s war against Ukraine, @POTUS has taken action to blunt the impact of Putin’s Price Hike for families,” the White Hosue falsely claimed on Monday.
The American public is not buying what the Biden White House is selling.
Just 11 percent of Americans think Putin is to blame for high energy prices, according to a poll of 1,000 U.S. likely voters taken by Rasmussen between June 16 and June 19. Biden has also sought to blame oil companies and refiners for high prices but just 29 percent find that convincing.
By the far the largest share of Americans—52 percent—say it is Biden’s energy policies that are to blame for high gas prices.
Biden has nominated at least two opponents of fossil fuel to key financial regulation posts—although those nominations were ultimately defeated. On the campaign trail, Biden said a number of times that he would end fossil fuels and stand athwart fossil fuel expansion. One of his first actions as president was to cancel the permits needed for the Keystone Pipeline. Biden increased the royalty rate—essentially, a tax rate—on oil production on federal lands by 50 percent this year, the first hike in 100 years.

Wow! I had no idea that 11% of the US population could be that stupid.
Which is less than a third of those who still rate him positively. He hasn’t found his floor yet. Maybe when he finds it, there will be some marbles there as well.
Somebody must have been asleep at the switch at the volume 11 gaslighting machine
And that 11% are “elected” democrats ... most of them living in the White House.
The elite core cadre of the Democrat voting base.
“Wow! I had no idea that 11% of the US population could be that stupid.”
Where do you live? I want to move there!
Studies majors and actors, right?
coincidently that is the same 11% of actual real voters that voted for Joe biden.
There is no doubt Russia contributed to it, but we’d have high prices regardless, despite what Putin worshippers say.
Scary!
I’d bet that 11% is his actual approval number.
Does the total number of journalists equal 11%?
Jill shakes Joe awake in bed:
“Joe, you’re talking in your sleep again.
You keep repeating; “I Did That!”
We know, Joe. We know.”
Actually our government’s response to it is what contributed to a price increase.
Most of those 11% post right here on the pro-Biden war threads.
I don’t get out much...
Corresponds to dopey joe’s true approval rate.
