A plurality of Americans expect inflation to worsen over the course of the next six months, a survey from YouGov/The Economist found.
Opinions are scattered on party lines, as 60 percent of Republicans predict inflation will be worse six months down the road — a sentiment shared by 49 percent of independents and 26 percent Democrats. However, about a quarter from each group — 26 percent of Democrats, 24 percent of Republicans, and 24 percent of independents — believe inflation will be the same at that point.
“I mean look gasoline up about 50 percent over the last year plus used cars up 35 percent, to be able to get a used car” he said, reemphasizing “staples that people need to just live a basic life are going up much higher than 8.5 percent.”
