A majority of U.S. voters blame the president for rising gasoline prices as the conflict with Iran continues, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll, underscoring broader dissatisfaction with his handling of the economy and foreign policy.
Sixty-five percent of voters say the president bears at least some responsibility for the recent increase in gas prices, including 51 percent who say he is to blame "a lot," while 34 percent say he is responsible "not much" or "not at all." The divide is sharply partisan, with 97 percent of Democrats assigning blame compared to 22 percent of Republicans, while 73 percent of independents also say the president is responsible.
