Pain at the pump drives Biden’s suffering in the polls

Politico reports:

The gasoline price spike feeding Americans' inflation anxiety has the White House scrambling to show voters it's got a plan to ease their pain at the pump. Biden aides, including National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and top economic adviser Brian Deese, as well as the Senior Adviser for Energy Security, Amos Hochstein and White House National Climate Adviser Gina McCarthy and her top aide, Ali Zaidi, met on Friday at the White House to consider actions the administration could take to cool off energy prices, according to three people familiar with the meeting. They considered several options, those sources said, ranging from releasing oil from the nation's strategic petroleum reserve to ease gasoline prices, curbing crude oil and gas exports, and even softening biofuel blending rules for refineries.

Imagine that.
