"When asked who is most responsible for current gas prices, 48% said the president and his administration. That was followed by 16% who pointed at oil and gas companies, 13% who blamed global market forces and 11% who cited former President Biden."
"Gas prices have been rising for the past 11 days - and are up more than 20% on average for a gallon of regular from last month, per AAA data. Gas is currently $3.60 per gallon - from $2.95 a month ago."
"President Trump has been clear that these are short-term disruptions. Ultimately, once the military objectives are completed and the Iranian terrorist regime is neutralized, oil and gas prices will drop rapidly again, potentially even lower than before the strikes begin."
A Morning Consult survey of 1,002 U.S. adults found that 74% report gas prices have increased this year, a 30-point jump from six weeks prior. When asked about responsibility, 48% attributed rising prices to the president and administration, while 16% blamed oil and gas companies, 13% cited global market forces, and 11% pointed to former President Biden. Gas prices have risen over 20% in the past month, reaching $3.60 per gallon from $2.95. The administration attributes current increases to short-term disruptions and predicts prices will fall once military objectives are completed and regional tensions subside.
