Voters are disenchanted with Democrats right now. Inflation, still-high unemployment, Covid weariness, frustration with schools, and a host of other issues (not least, probably, getting their kids’ presents delivered before Christmas) are on their minds.

Democrats didn’t cause these high gas prices. They’re a result of an abrupt increase in demand as the economy recovers, OPEC quotas, and lack of investment in production due to years of low oil prices.

And you can be sure they’ll give Biden no credit for the recent 20% drop in oil prices, which will show up at gas pumps soon.
