The national gas price average today stands at $3.61, marking a significant 51% increase since President Joe Biden took office. This surge in gas prices has left many voters feeling the pinch at the pump, with 84% of respondents in a recent poll expressing concerns about the rising cost of gas, along with other essential expenses such as groceries, healthcare, and housing.
Former White House economic advisor and FreedomWorks chief economist, Stephen Moore, highlighted the impact of the escalating gas prices on the economy. Moore pointed out that prior to Biden's presidency, gas prices ranged between $2 and $2.50 per gallon, contrasting sharply with the current national average of $3.61 per gallon. In states like California, gas prices have soared to as high as $6 per gallon, exacerbating the financial burden on consumers.
