An ABC News survey concludes Putin for high gas prices

According to an ABC News poll, most Americans believe that oil companies, in tallying to Russian President Vladimir Putin, should be blamed for the recent spike in oil and gas prices.

The ABC News poll was conducted from April 8 through 9 using responses from 530 adults. The poll had a margin of sampling error of 4.9 points.

The poll found that 71 percent of those surveyed blame Putin for the spike in gas prices amid his country’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine while 68 percent said they blame oil and gas companies for the recent high gas prices.

Thirty-three percent blamed the issue on the GOP and 24 percent blamed it on former President Trump. The poll also found that 52 percent of those surveyed place a “good amount” or “great deal” of the blame for high gas prices on Democratic policies, with 51 percent blaming President Biden.

Two in three Americans said they would be enthusiastic to vote in the upcoming midterm elections. Sixty-eight percent of those surveyed said they disapprove of Biden’s handling gas prices with 93 percent of Republicans and 41 percent of Democrats saying the same.

In Ukraine, 79 percent supported economic sanctions on Russia and 63 percent supported Ukrainian refugees being relocated to the U.S.
