A majority of Americans say Biden’s not focusing enough on inflation, according to dire new poll that shows 76% of voters who don't like the president will dislike him MORE if he passes Build Back Better
Inflation reached a 40-year high of 7% in December, Labor Dept said last week
While a majority of Biden's critics will be further alienated by his $1.75T Build Back Better bill, a majority also said they'd like him better if he fixed inflation
A majority of voters surveyed don't think he's focused enough on the economy
His 44 percent approval rating after his first year is lower than almost every predecessor through Ronald Reagan, except for Donald Trump

A vast majority of American voters do not think President Joe Biden has his priorities straight when it comes to record-setting inflation currently gripping the country, a dire new poll revealed on Sunday.
The agenda items the progressive president has been focused on, like his $1.75 trillion Build Back Better bill, are only pushing his critics further away, according to the survey from CBS News and YouGov.
The poll, taken January 12 to 14, shows Biden starting the year with the same lackluster approval numbers he ended the last with just 44 percent support.
It's still an improvement from a devastating Quinnipiac poll released last week that gives him a 33 percent approval rating.
Among the majority who don't support him, more than three-quarters -- 76 percent -- have said Biden's $1.75 trillion social and climate reform package that was indefinitely stalled by centrists in his own party last month would not boost their opinion of him.
However, 63 percent of those detractors said they would like the president more if he got inflation under control.
