'Three things move the needle in this country: politics, religion, and gas prices,' an expert told Newsweek, adding that gas prices will be an issue in 2024.
When Biden took office in January 2021, gas prices were an average of $2.4 per gallon across the country, according to historical data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration . By December of the same year, they had risen to over $3 per gallon. In June 2022, they peaked at an average of $5.06 per gallon, the highest on record, after which they started to drop below $4.
As of August 30, the average price of regular gas was $3.827, according to AAA—just slightly lower than the $3.844 average reported a year before. Gas experts Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis at Gas Buddy, and Denton Cinquegrana, chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information Service , toldthat while Biden and his administration had little to no role in the recent rise in gas prices, that may not spare him voters' anger."We've seen a lot of movement [since 2021] and a lot of it is related to things that are completely separate from the White House," DeHaan said.
