Poll: Inflation, gas prices are top concern in PA-08

A new poll of swing districts that includes PA-08 found voters are fixated on rising inflation and rising gas prices.

Voters strongly feel that the Biden Administration and Democrats like Matt Cartwright aren’t doing nearly enough to bring down gas prices.

Key Findings

• Twenty-five percent of voters hold Biden “most” responsible for inflation and rising gas prices; another 12% blame Democrats in Congress.
• Sixty percent of voters believe the Biden administration is not doing enough to increase domestic energy production.
• Fifty-nine percent of voters favor expediting construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, a project Biden has delayed indefinitely because of climate change concerns.
• Fifty-six percent of voters support the federal government granting energy companies new leases to drill for oil and gas on federal lands. The administration has moved slowly on granting new leases, also because of climate change concerns.
