WASHINGTON (Reuters) - More than two-thirds of Americans disapprove of the way President Barack Obama is handling high gasoline prices, although most do not blame him for them, according to a Reuters/Ipsos online poll released on Tuesday.
Sixty-eight percent disapprove and 24 percent approve of how Obama is responding to price increases that have become one of the biggest issues in the 2012 presidential campaign.
In the past month, U.S. fuel prices have jumped about $0.30 per gallon to about $3.90 and the Republicans seeking to replace the Democrat in the November 6 election have seized upon the issue to attack his energy policies.
The disapproval reaches across party lines, potentially spelling trouble for Obama in the election, although the online survey showed voters hold oil companies or foreign countries more accountable than politicians for the price spike.

BFD. Nowhere to drive to anyway.
I just noticed on my drive this morning, we are right at the $4.00 mark and over for regular in Kentucky.
Yeah but the toll those high gas prices take on the economy through the summer will be felt for a long time. Some newswriters are predicting $5.00 per gallon prices but they fail to realize that $4.20 gasoline prices will knock the economy back on into recesssion.
I predict that as gas prices recede in August/September they will be replaced as the top issue with the voters...by...increasing unemployment.
“Americans angry with Obama over gas prices”..........
It isn’t just gas prices but it is a good start at why American’s (legal ones) are angry. There is quite a long list of things we can add.
The Democrat 24% would approve Obambi even if he were an illegal alien from Indonesia........Oh, wait... Anyhow, it's the other 76 percent that need educating.
Can’t drive over water for a few cents.
