NEW YORK, Dec. 17 (Xinhua) -- Nearly half of Americans say the U.S. administration's actions are making inflation worse in the country, according to a new Fox Business poll.

Two-thirds of Americans think the White House is at least somewhat responsible for rising prices, said the poll.

Rising prices over the past six months have caused financial hardship for two-thirds of U.S. voters, and the rate climbs to three-quarters among those living in lower-income households, the survey found.

In addition, 42 percent of the interviewees believe that the White House's social spending plan would hurt the economy, while 36 percent think that it would help the economy, according to the poll. Enditem
