The majority of voters are blaming increased prices at the pump on Russian President Vladimir Putin and oil companies more than energy policies from President Biden and Democrats, according to a new poll. An ABC News/Ipsos survey released over the weekend showed that 71% of voters placed a great deal or good amount of blame on Mr. Putin for his invasion of Ukraine and 68% said the same for oil companies. The majority of respondents still placed some degree of blame on Mr. Biden (51%) and Democratic policies (52%). Although most voters still blamed the president and his party, the vast frustration among Americans toward Mr. Putin and energy companies

B.S.
Very few polls these days are anything except cheap propaganda for the Left.
Every one knows, "Biden did that!!"

Reuters Ipsos is full of fraud. More lies with numbers, just another style of propaganda on behalf of the Democrats.

Oh please. Talk to your neighbors. Your friends. Talk to people at the gas pump. This is complete lies on top of lies with more lies thrown in. The blame rest squarely where EVERYONE but the Kool-aid drinking 11% puts it. Right on the Incontinent Potato and his puppeteers.

Yeah. And voters say the only ‘poll’ that counts is Nov.
And #2 is correct “Let’s Go Brandon” …all the way to the Funny Farm!

While the poll itself is certainly suspect, considering the source, it's perhaps telling that the 50-50 spit is almost certainly right along party lines. While more than fifty percent of the populace may be aware that Biden's moronic energy policy is to blame, I'm betting that no Democrat would ever admit that belief to a pollster.

Locally gas under Trump Nov. 2020 - $1.85 - $1.95
Locally gas under Biden Nov 2021 - $3.55 - $3.65
Locally gas under Biden/Ukraine war - $4;25 - $3.85
This is not Putin's doing.

When the simplest thing to do would be to allow the U.S. drilling operations to resume obtaining bank funding and open up the domestic oil production.
It's not a lack of oil available, it's who is restricting the ability to produce it.

Since the oil companies make about 5 cents per gallon of gas and the federal tax is 18.6 and state taxes range between 25 and 60 cents who is more responsible for price gouging?

I do believe I took this poll. To put it in context, the poll's introduction specifically blamed Putin, Covid, etc., for the increases and then the questions asked who you thought was to blame. In other words, the whole poll is a joke. To call the questions leading is too generous.

Meaningless poll - The ABC News/Ipsos poll was conducted April 8-9 among 530 adults. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
Please give us a breakdown on how many D's R's and I's are these likely voters, registered voters, non-voters? Age and demographics of the respondents means great deal too.
This buried in the article: The majority of respondents still placed some degree of blame on Mr. Biden (51%) and Democratic policies (52%). I'm surprised that the Washington Times would print this crap.

The real cause is the Demonrats, doing every possible thing to shut down production, close pipelines, raise taxes, prevent drilling.
Putin is a minor effect. Dems are the major effect.

I believe this poll as much as I believe in Tinker Bell, Unicorns and Moderate Democrats. I know this is a BS poll. Other wise, MSDNC, CBS, CNN and others wouldn't be freaking out about the economic news hutring Democrats.

Curious how those same voters will not give correlative credit to Putin and the Evil Nasty Oil Companies for the record low gasoline price they've had for the last 2 years.
Speaking as an oil industry professional, the oil companies need every dime of today's higher prices just to recover from their horrible losses over the last two years.

I'm sorry but I'm not going to believe a poll from ABC or Ipsos. The people knows it's Biden. Putin wasn't selling us oil prior to Biden. Don't believe it.

Push polling proves nothing except the biases of the question framers and those deciding on sample size and demographics. Without a completely randomized experimental design, no "poll" is worth the ink it takes to write about it.

Gas is high because Biden stopped drilling and cancelled the pipeline. It is all a question of supply and demand, nothing more. Look to the White Hose and complain there.

Polls are BS, but I'm convinced that the majority of Americans are credulous enough to swallow Biden's BS regarding his inflation strategy.

Dear Joe Robinette, If you have the slightest comprehension that prices are affected by supply and demand and you factor in speculation (what will happen to future supply?), but simultaneously owe allegiance to radicals who want to totally wean us by choking supply, how do you explain your government policies. You took action to kill future supply with cancellations of permits and pipelines for future development. You mandated alternative sources without calculating the practicality or capacity of these sources. You alienated those friendly dominions and courted those hostile powers who could supplement your supply. Then you tap a national security reserve trying to correct a crisis that you caused. And you want to give money to the populace so they can buy the commodity you are trying to choke and ease the financial burden of the shortage you created. Thus you are admitting that this commodity is needed for our economic security. Putin may be evil and certainly has contributed to energy issues by creating instability in markets and international relations. However, you are floundering in their own incompetence, and you are bringing us all down!

These people decide what answer they want and then seek out people to respond to their poll. I know a helluva lot of people and I don't know anyone who blames the price increase on oil on Putin.

Not me. I firmly blame Joseph Robinette Biden for this rise in gasoline prices. He hauled prices up about an hour or so after he lied about upholding the constitution during his Oath of Office skit. Putin is just skating in on Biden's coattails.

The voters have their heads in their nether regions if they think Putin is responsible for the spike in oil and gasoline prices. Pull up a graph of gasoline prices for the last three years. It started increasing rapidly in late January 2021….
does that time frame ring a bell? Biteme is responsible…100%!!!

Let me guess the poll questions. Who is more to blame for today's high gas prices? Vladimir Putin, Big greedy oil companies who pay less taxes than a secretary, or Donald Trump and his bad economic policies which h resulted in Covid and the supply chain crisis hurting every American today.

Most voters can't tell you what's going on with Russia and Ukraine. A huge portion of them have never heard of Putin.

Yes you dumb democrats out there in my beloved country please go with this poll. Whatever you have to do to continue to live in fantasyland. We in real-ville know who is really responsible for the high gas prices and will let you know in a few months. Count on it.

If you drill down a little and follow the links to the Ipsos page, you find only this to describe the sample.
This ABC News/Ipsos poll was conducted April 8 to April 9, 2022, by Ipsos using the probability-based KnowledgePanel®. This poll is based on a nationally representative probability sample of 530 adults age 18 or older.
No breakdown other than to describe that the data is weighted by demographics, income, geography, and political affiliation with a margin of error of about 5%.
Garbage, plain and simple.

The majority of American voters are stupid and lazy, and get their information straight from the government-controlled propaganda mill we like to call the enemedia.
