Elevated gasoline prices are squeezing U.S. citizens, making life financially harder and forcing them to cut back on spending, according to a new Gallup poll.

Among the respondents, 67 percent said recent gas price increases were causing them hardship, which is the highest level since May 2011. This is up from 52 percent in April, according to survey results published on June 28.
