A majority of Americans believe President Trump is responsible for a surge in gas prices, according to a new survey by Reuters/Ipsos. The survey found that 77 percent of registered U.S. voters believe that Trump bears at least some responsibility for the rise in prices, compared to 22 percent who disagreed. This sentiment was shared across the political spectrum, with 55% of Republicans, 82% of independents, and 95% of Democrats agreeing. This could be a warning sign for Republicans ahead of the midterms, as they are working to improve their messaging on affordability amid concerns of potential voter backlash over the economy. Despite some relief at the pump, the national average for gas prices is $4.03 per gallon.
