A poll, released Monday, revealed that voters believe Joe Biden is responsible for inflation in the U.S. 39% of respondents said the Democrat is to blame for the economic situation. Meanwhile, 17.7% say that former President Donald Trump is responsible.

Similarly, the poll also showed that some voters feel that Congress is to blame for the rise in inflation: 14.4% blame the current one and 10.9% blame the previous one.

The Trafalgar Group poll was conducted between June 6 and 7, was answered by 1,073 people, had a 95% confidence level, and a margin of error of 2.99%.
