I can't believe jc didn't post this first as he is obsessed with bidens polling numbers. Old Joe was polling at around 39% which was 10% above loser Trump but after his state of the union address he soared to 47%. Which is about 20% above two tike popular vote loser Donald Trump. https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-approval-rating-bump-state-of-the-union-poll-2022-3

High gas prices are traditionally Nancy Pelosi's fault...
Most things domestically are in fact Congresses fault. But equal blame over decades needs to portioned out on that, to both party leaderships.
I've seen a number of commentators talking about this, and what Biden should do. Basically, Biden needs to explain where and why there is inflation. Having an unemployment rate of 3.8% means wages are going to rise, which means companies need to pass on some costs.

I wasn't saying that high gas prices were actually her fault, just that the right wing bloviators always point fingers in that direction. You could interview for El Rushblow's old job. Maybe some asshole would pin a medal on you...I didn't say say gas prices. Thats a world event. But most problems domestically fall under Congress and how they budget and legislate. And to deny its the corporations that they favor is not something you xan do.
