Over-three quarters of Americans, 77 percent, said inflation is affecting their lives, and a majority across all party lines say the same.

That includes 90 percent of Republicans, 79 percent of independents, and 69 percent of Democrats:.

In addition to the nearly 8 in 10 Americans who now say inflation is affecting them personally (37 percent “a great deal”; 40 percent “some”), more than 6 in 10 (61 percent) say the same about “shortages of goods and services” (17 percent “a great deal”; 44 percent “some”).

Since last October, overall prices have soared 6.2 percent amid supply-chain bottlenecks and sky-high demand for goods — the fastest yearly pace in more than three decades.
