54% of Voters Rate Biden’s Response to Putin Invasion 'Ineffective,' 84% Think Gas Prices Keep Climbing says Rasmussen

64% believe it’s "Very Likely" they’ll be paying even more at the pump in six months

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Texas Insider Report) — The latest Rasmussen Polls show an increasingly grave level of concern on the part of the nation's citizens and increasingly disastrous results for Joe Biden and the Democrat Party he leads. For starters, most "Likely U.S. Voters" don't believe Mr. Biden's insistence on using "Economic Sanctions" to alter President Putin's aggression are enough, or will stop his invading further into Ukraine.

When asked for their response to the question of whether or not the Russian invasion into Ukraine would encourage China to invade Taiwan:
 

• 77% of Independent Voters said it was "Very or Somewhat Likely," as did
• 70% of Democrats and
• 84% of Republicans

84% Expect Gas Prices to Keep Climbing

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has caused gasoline prices to spike – and most Americans expect the costs at the pump to continue rising. The latest Rasmussen Reports National Telephone & Online Survey found that:
 

• 78% of American Adults say they're paying more for a gallon of gas today than they were six months ago, and
• 84% think it’s likely those prices will continue to climb further during the coming six months.

This includes:
 

• 64% who believe it’s "Very Likely" they’ll be paying even more for a gallon of gas in six months than they are today.

The survey of 1,000 U.S. American Adults was conducted February 23rd-24th, and has a +/- 3% margin of sampling error with a 95% level of confidence.

54% of Voters Rate Biden’s Response to Putin's Invasion of Ukraine as "Ineffective"

Perhaps of even greater concern for President Biden and his administration, is that most "Likely U.S. Voters" don’t think Mr. Biden has effectively responded to Vladimir Putin's Russian invasion of Ukraine – nor do they believe Biden's insistance on "Economic Sanctions" will be enough to stop the Russian aggression.

The latest Rasmussen National Survey on this subject showed that:
 

• 54% of "Likely U.S. Voters" don’t believe Biden’s response to the Russian invasion has been effective, including
  • 30% who rate his response as "Not At All Effective"
• 40% of believe Biden’s response has been effective so far, including
  • 21% who think his response has been "Very Effective"

This survey of 1,000 Likely U.S. Voters was conducted March 1st-2nd, 2022 and has a +/- 3% margin of sampling error with a 95% level of confidence.

Biden’s support among the all-important Independent Voter has been shrinking for months, and recent polling indicates an increasingly rapid loss of the support among independents. Its a trend that has many Democrat analysts and even elected officals predicting negative results in November.
 

• A February CNN poll showed Mr. Biden’s "approval rating" among independent voters sinking from a high of 58% in the spring of 2021 to a low of just 36%.
