Morning Consult <a href=\"https:\/\/morningconsult.com\/2022\/03\/30\/inflation-republicans-democrats-midterms-trust-survey\/\">noted<\/a> that of all the issues asked in the survey, the Republicans scored the highest advantage margin on this issue.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>The poll showed that respondents rated Democrats slightly better on the economy, with 36 percent trusting the Democrats. In comparison, Republicans had an 11 point advantage, with 47 percent saying they trusted Republicans more.<\/p>\n<p>When it came to jobs, only 39 percent of the\u00a0respondents said they trusted the Democrats, giving the Republicans a six-point advantage at 45 percent.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, independent voters, who in recent years have had more of a deciding vote in elections, said they trusted the Republicans over the Democrats on the same issues. These voters trusted the congressional Republicans more than the Democrats on inflation (40 percent to 17 percent), the economy (43 percent to 22 percent), and jobs (41 percent to 27 percent).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Morning Consult noted that Republicans had had an advantage on economic trust since June 2021, when the nationwide voters started to feel the pressure from the increased inflation, which has since grown.<\/p>\n<p>During the\u00a0House Republican Conference retreat in mid-March, House\u00a0Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) shared a video of\u00a0Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) on social media.\u00a0McHenry, who leads the Republican conference\u2019s\u00a0policy task force on economic issues, said that the\u00a0Democrats want to \u201cspend their way out of this,\u201d while his own party has come up with a plan.<\/p>\n<p>McHenry said: \u201cWhat we need is sound money principles, fiscal discipline, and stop electing Democrats\u00a0\u2014 that\u2019s how we target inflation.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Democrats want to spend their way out of inflation.
