全球市场研究集团益普索(Ipsos)官网网站报道称，益普索最新民调效果显示，美国人越来越担心通胀问题。由于对美国经济衰退的担心一连保存，50%的受访者体现，生涯本钱是他们最体贴的问题。全文摘编如下：
Our monthly What Worries the World polling finds the of Americans think things in their are on the wrong track these days (63% in July 2024, up from 58% who said the same five years ago in July 2019) and the in their country is bad (56% in July 2024 versus 43% who said the same in July 2019).
益普索7月的月度“天下体贴”民意视察发明，大大都美国人(63%)以为美国现在走上了过失的轨道(高于2019年7月的58%)，56%的受访者以为美国现在的经济形势很糟糕(2019年7月为43%)。
And the stickiness of inflation continues to stick in the minds of the American people. 50% of Americans now say inflation is a top for their country, up five percentage points year-over-year. It’s key to note the CPI is set to be up cumulatively by just over 20% since 2020 by the end of this year and daily staples like the food-at-home category is on pace to have soared almost 28% over the past five years
通货膨胀一连困扰美国民众。50%的美国人体现，通货膨胀是美国最体贴的问题，同比上升5个百分点。值得注重的是，预计到今年年底，消耗者物价指数(CPI)自2020年累计上涨幅度将高于20%，而家庭食物等主要日用品价钱在已往五年或将飙升近28%。
“I think the key thing that has been suppressing consumer sentiment has been inflation,” says Chris Jackson, Vice of Public Affairs for Ipsos in the US. “The cost of living has been a real drag for people. … Inflation has been the thing that’s front and and what really dominates Americans’ minds, in particular, is those costs that they see regularly, like when they go and fill up their car at the gas every week.”
益普索美国公共事务高级副总裁克里斯·杰克逊(Chris Jackson)体现：“我以为抑制消耗者信心的主要因素是通货膨胀。生涯本钱对美国人来说是真正的肩负……通胀一直是主要和焦点的问题，真正困扰美国人头脑的是他们经�？吹降谋厩�，好比他们每周给车加油的时间。”
While inflation is down the cost of everything, from hot dogs to houses, soared during and after the pandemic while one’s wages didn’t necessarily keep up. Plus, the Fed has kept key interest rates at 5.25% to 5.5% for now, meaning the ultimate cost (including borrowing money for big-ticket purchases) remains quite high for many consumers.
虽然通胀率有所下降，但经由疫情后，从热狗到屋子，所有商品的价钱都在飙升，而人们的人为却纷歧定跟得上物价上涨速率。别的，美联储现在将基准利率维持在5.25%至5.5%，这意味着许多消耗者的最终本钱(包括购置大件商品的借贷本钱)仍然相当高。
