CBS News asked Americans about inflation and the two major parties. Most respondents said they do not expect either Republicans or Democrats to bring relief from rising prices. The same poll also found that approval ratings for handling the economy are about equal for both parties. Overall, many people feel uncertain about political help with inflation.
Why it matters
Inflation affects the cost of groceries, gas, and housing, so people’s expectations matter for their daily budgets. When voters see little difference between parties on economic issues, it can influence how they decide in elections.
