Another 13.5 percent said unemployment is the biggest issue, meaning a combined majority of Americans view issues such as inflation and jobs as bigger issues than the coronavirus.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The poll came prior to the Supreme Court <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/01\/13\/conservatives-rejoice-after-supreme-court-strikes-down-oshas-vaccine-mandate-a-win-for-the-constitution\/\">dealing<\/a> a devastating blow to President Biden\u2019s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) vaccine mandate, striking it down in a 6-3 vote. However, the Court upheld Biden\u2019s&nbsp;Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services (CMS) vaccine mandate 5-4, \u201calthough it explicitly&nbsp;acknowledged that the CMS mandate exempts employees who object to the vaccine for religious or medical reasons,\u201d as Breitbart News reported. Notably, Biden\u2019s ratings on his handling of the pandemic have been dropping exponentially over the past few months, particularly after he announced the ill-fated vaccine mandate, which would have affected roughly 84 million American workers, in an angry, divisive speech in September.<\/p>\n<p>While continuing to face government mandates, Americans have also continued to feel the sting of inflation, as retail sales in the U.S. \u201cdeclined sharply\u201d in December, \u201cindicating that the worst inflation in decades is hitting consumers harder than analysts expected,\u201d as Breitbart News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/economy\/2022\/01\/14\/bidenflation-stole-christmas-december-retail-sales-crash-as-high-prices-and-shortages-weigh-on-consumers\/\">detailed<\/a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Total retail sales dropped 1.9 percent in December, typically a month of robust holiday shopping, Commerce Department data showed Friday. The figures are not adjusted for inflation, suggesting that price-adjusted purchases were even weaker. The Consumer Price Index rose 0.5 percent in December.<\/p>\n<p>The results were far worse than analysts expected.
