Poll: Inflation dents North Dakota holiday spending spirit

Inflation isn’t just a headline in North Dakota right now — it’s showing up in grocery aisles, at the pump, and in how people plan for the holidays. A new North Dakota Poll finds 53% of respondents say everyday necessities have become less affordable over the past year, and nearly a third plan to cut back on holiday spending. The survey also highlights growing unease about tariffs and trade policy, even as most residents say they haven’t made major lifestyle changes and many still prioritize shopping local. Michael Standaert with North Dakota News Cooperative has the full survey results and story.
