Poll: 2/3rds Of Americans Experiencing ‘Hardship’ Over Inflation

The rising cost of gas, food, and other goods has made life harder for nearly 2/3rds of Americans, according to a CBS News Poll.

66% of respondents said higher prices have been "difficult or a hardship" for their families.

26% said higher prices were an "inconvenience", while 8% said it had no effect on their lives.

Overall, 63% rated the U.S. economy as 'Bad', even though 56% rated the local job market as 'Good'.

I don't know about you, but those are not numbers that I'm happy reading! The rise in gas prices have certainly had an effect on me. I'm a part-time DJ so I've had to cut back on traveling for DJ gigs which has affected my pocket but it wasn't worth it with the cost to travel! It's one of those things that you have to deal with no matter what, but it's not going to stop anyone from complaining about it!
