Many Americans are still concerned about facing high prices this holiday season, but less so than during the middle of former President Joe Biden’s sole term, according to an AP-NORC poll released on Friday.
Eighty-seven percent of American adults presently feel like they are paying higher prices for groceries than they usually do, compared to 95% of voters who said the same in December 2022, when Biden was in office, according to the poll.
The poll also found that 69% of U.S. adults felt like they are now paying higher prices than usual for electricity, while 74% said the same in December 2022. Moreover, 63% of respondents said they still think they are paying more than usual for holiday gifts, compared with 69% who felt the same way in December 2022, the poll found.
About two-thirds of U.S. adults think the nation’s economy is “poor,” a proportion that remains unchanged from December 2024, before Trump assumed office for his second term. Fifty-six percent of Republicans and 16% of Democrats conversely viewed the economy as “good” in December 2025 — compared to 51% of Democrats and 16% of Republicans who said the same the year before, when Biden was in office, according to AP-NORC polling.
Of those surveyed, 49% said they feel like they are currently spending more money on gas than normal. In December 2022, 83% of respondents said the same thing, per the AP-NORC poll.
Biden’s office did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
