Ouch! Poll shows even a majority of DEMS aren't buying Biden's inflation & gas price excuses

President Biden and his administration continue to attempt to brand inflation and the record-high cost of gas as “Putin’s price hikes” (they also assign some of the blame to “corporate greed”).

That spin is so laughable that even a majority of Democrats polled here aren’t buying it:

NEW: I&I/TIPP Poll

In general, how responsible are President Biden’s policies for causing the current inflation?

Responsible: 64%
Not Responsible: 25%

Responsible/Not Responsible
Dem: 53/39
GOP: 88/8
Indie: 63/26

File this under “O” for “ouch”:

The answers to the poll, which was taken from June 8-10 and has a margin of error of +/-2.8 percentage points, couldn’t be less comforting for Biden and the Democratic Party.

Of those responding, 64% said Biden was “responsible,” choosing either “very responsible” (38%) or “somewhat responsible” (26%). Just 25% answered “not responsible”, with 17% saying “not very responsible” but a far-smaller 8% saying “not at all responsible.” “Not sure” was 10%.

But most surprising of all, Democrats have thrown in the towel on Biden’s economic leadership, with 53% blaming Biden’s policies for inflation vs. 39% saying they weren’t responsible.

There’s no way these kinds of numbers aren’t causing all-out panic at Democrat HQ and the White House.
