Survey finds more than half of Americans are experiencing financial hardship due to gas prices

Gas prices are still high across the country, which is causing stress and financial hardship for many Americans, according to a recent Gallup survey. But not as many Americans are stressed as in the past when gas has been expensive. When gas prices spiked in 2005 and 2008, more than 70% of people said it was causing them financial hardship. Now, about half of Americans are saying that.
