Democrats are suddenly much more worried about inflation and many now expect interest rates to climb over the next six months, according to a survey by YouGov for the Economist.

The survey taken between November 9th and 12th found that a 52 percent majority of Democrats believe inflation will be higher six months from now, 23 percent expect it will be the same, and nine percent say it will be lower.

That marks a dramatic swing from their pre-election expectations. At the end of October, in a survey taken between October 26th and the 29th, just 19 percent of Democrats expected higher inflation. Twenty-nine percent expected inflation to hold steady. Thirty-three percent said they expect a lower rate of inflation.
