Gallup Poll/Lydia Said/3-29-2022
“Roughly one in five Americans mention the high cost of living/inflation (17%), or fuel prices (4%) specifically, as the most important problem facing the U.S. today. Together, these account for over half of the economic issues that 35% of Americans cite as the nation’s top problem. Within that group, 11% identify the economy in general as the chief problem.”
USAGOLD note: Only 9% saw inflation as a problem in January 2022. Perceptions are changing rapidly.
