Arizonans Blame Biden for Skyrocketing Food & Housing Prices

Soaring rent and mortgage payments leave little in the budget to cover all the other inflated bills caused by Bidenflation.

There’s at least one thing Arizonans overwhelmingly agree on: the rent is too damn high.

Fully 88 percent of likely Arizona voters—split evenly between Republicans and Democrats—report that quality, affordable housing is “out of reach” for most families in the Grand Canyon State, according to a new poll by Steve Cortes’ populist League of American Workers.

Just 9 percent think such housing is “still available” to most people.

Home prices averaged $207,000 in 2015; it’s since doubled to over $426,000, a dramatic rise that began in late 2020 and skyrocketed after Joe Biden took office in Jan. 2021. Phoenix is the most dire—breaking $573,000 in February, a stunning 118 percent since 2015. Even renting homes and apartments is becoming too expensive, averaging $2,025 statewide.

Not surprisingly, 84 percent of respondents believe a single income isn’t enough to support a typical family. Just 11 percent disagree.

And Arizonans know whom to blame. By an 18-point margin, 53 percent of voters report they were better off financially when Donald Trump was President compared with a meager 35 percent who say they’re “better off currently” in Biden’s economy.

And 66 percent believe Biden’s administration bears “some” or a “great deal” of responsibility for hiking food prices, which are the highest in 3 decades—with no relief in sight. Credit card debt is at historic highs as Americans, particularly Millennials, struggle to pay for groceries and other essential expenses.

That’s despite the corporate media’s relentless attempts to paint “Bidenomics” as a success—“the greatest economy ever,” in one shill’s words.

Voters see through the lies. It’s up to conservatives to show the country the path back to prosperity.
