The Left has tried their hardest to cover for Joe Biden. But the latest statistics are revealing everything.
And new data regarding Biden’s policies has exposed a shocking reality for millions of Americans.
In a troubling sign of the economic pressures facing Americans, a recent Fox News poll has found that more than half of the country is planning to forgo summer vacations this year.
The poll, conducted among 1,126 American voters between May 10 and 13, revealed that 55 percent of respondents will be staying home.
The primary reason cited by nearly three-quarters of those opting out of travel was the rising cost of living, which has put an additional strain on their finances.
The poll’s findings underscore the financial struggles many Americans are facing as inflation continues to drive up the cost of essentials.
Among those not taking a vacation this year, 73 percent said it was due to financial constraints, while 15 percent pointed to a lack of time.
The margin of error for the poll was +/- 3 percent, providing a clear indication that economic hardships are a significant factor in people’s decisions to stay home.
Interestingly, Democrats were slightly more likely than Republicans to travel this summer, with 45 percent of Democrats planning trips compared to 41 percent of Republicans. Independents were the least likely to travel, at just 37 percent.
The survey asked respondents to what extent groceries, housing, health care, and utilities were impacting their financial situation.
The vast majority of Americans identified each of these categories as a “problem,” reflecting widespread economic strain.
In particular, the rising price of fuel emerged as a significant concern. Nearly all respondents indicated that the increasing cost of gas was problematic, with 49 percent calling it a “major problem.”
The Biden administration recently attempted to cover up reality with a media stunt where they claimed they would help alleviate these Summer pressures.
“The Biden-Harris Administration is laser-focused on lowering prices at the pump for American families, especially as drivers hit the road for summer driving season,” said Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm in a statement.
“By strategically releasing this reserve in between Memorial Day and July 4th, we are ensuring sufficient supply flows to the tri-state and northeast at a time hardworking Americans need it the most.”
Despite these efforts, the administration’s approach has drawn criticism from millions of Americans.
Many highlight that Biden’s policies, particularly those related to energy and economic regulation, have exacerbated inflation and increased the cost of living.
They point to the administration’s cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline and restrictions on domestic oil production as factors contributing to higher fuel prices.
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has been vocal about the administration’s failures, stating, “The Biden administration’s policies have crippled American energy independence and driven up costs for every family. Releasing strategic reserves is a temporary band-aid, not a solution.”
The poll’s findings reflect broader economic concerns among the American populace. Inflation has been at the highest levels in decades, affecting everything from food to housing to healthcare.
As the cost of living continues to rise, many Americans are forced to cut back on discretionary spending, including vacations.
