It\u2019s also up nearly 20 percentage points since this time last year and up two percentage points from January 2021 when Biden was inaugurated.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"206\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-16-at-11.03.37-AM-1024x206-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-272526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-16-at-11.03.37-AM-1024x206-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-16-at-11.03.37-AM-300x60.png 300w, https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-16-at-11.03.37-AM-768x154.png 768w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-16-at-11.03.37-AM-1536x308-1.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-16-at-11.03.37-AM.png 1614w\"><\/figure>\n<p>Most of these Americans\u2019 concerns can be traced to <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/05\/12\/supply-chain-disruptions-are-really-the-effects-of-lockdowns-we-should-never-allow-again\/\">federal spending and lockdown-induced<\/a> economic problems such as inflation, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/04\/27\/the-inflation-draining-your-wallet-grocery-cart-and-gas-tank-is-far-steeper-than-8-percent\/\">taking a far greater toll on Americans than what\u2019s reflected in the 8 percent figure<\/a>, and record-high gas prices, which recently reached a <a href=\"https:\/\/gasprices.aaa.com\/\">$4.48 per gallon national average<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Since Biden assumed office, the financial toll these crises have taken on pocketbooks has only worsened and made it difficult for hardworking Americans to keep up. <\/p>\n<p>In the NBC poll, 65 percent of U.S. adults claimed their current paychecks are falling behind their rapidly rising costs of living.
