I mean with regards to this poll, yes and no. Look at the question framing. For some questions this is true but a lot don't really leave space for that mistake:
Did trump have a negative affect on grocery prices?
Did trump have a negative affect on your finances prices?
Will Trump's tarrifs increase the price of every day goods?
These don't ask if Trump or his administration is responsible for high grocery prices or CoL or the financial climate, just if he has helped or worsened it. Other questions are pretty clear in their separation from this specific administration:
Do you believe Corporations or billionaires have had an active role in making life more difficult for average people over the past 25 years?
Do you believe congressional Republicans or congressional Democrats have made life more difficult?
A lot of the other questions just have to do with how anxious people feel about finances or the concerns they have and doesn't really ask about any politicians at all.
Of course you are absolutely right that, in general, people have an astonishingly and consistently short memory resulting in attributing current problems to current politicians but I dunno if this poll is really indicative of that.
