A new poll suggests that voters are increasingly blaming former President Donald Trump for rising gas prices, which could spell trouble for Republican candidates in the upcoming midterm elections. The survey, conducted by NPR, finds that 44% of Americans believe Trump's policies are responsible for the surge in gas prices, while 31% point to the Biden administration. Meanwhile, Democrats are gaining an edge in the midterms, with voters favoring their candidates by a margin of 10 points, according to the poll. The findings could have significant implications for the balance of power in Congress, as Democrats seek to maintain control of the House and Senate.
