A CBS News poll that was out yesterday indicated that two thirds of voters believe that the administration is not doing all it can and could be doing more to curb inflation. What does the White House think? Does the White House think it’s — it’s doing all it can to curve inflation?”

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: What we understand is — you know, we understand that the American people are going through a difficult time. And we have said that. You’ve heard the President say that. And we understand how it is tough — it is a tough time for them … That’s why he’s worked so hard to get those gas prices down by more than a dollar a gallon from the highest … That’s why the Inflation Reduction Act is so critical and key, because it’s going to lower energy costs and it’s going to lower healthcare costs. We get it. We get it. I know you’re asking me about a specific — a specific poll, a specific number from your own publication. And we get it. We understand. But we’re going to continue to do the work. It’s not going to stop us. And you have seen the results. You have seen the results from this administration. I’m going to just keep moving because we don’t have a lot of time. Go ahead.
