Poll: 77% Blame Trump for $4 Gas Spike, Bullish Oil on Iran Supply Crunch

A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows 77% of registered voters blame President Trump for U.S. gasoline prices reaching $4 per gallon—$1 higher since the Iran war disrupted 20% of global oil trade via damaged export facilities. The April 15-20 survey of 4,557 adults reveals 58% are less likely to support midterm candidates backing Trump's approach, eroding GOP's economic edge to 1 point. Repeated coverage underscores sustained supply risks keeping oil prices elevated and amplifying inflation and political uncertainty ahead of November elections.
