12 month inflation expectation: from 4.3% in February to 4.9% in March,

5 year inflation expectation: from 3.5% in February to 3.9% in March

A headline says that the inflation expectation is at a 34 year high
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/americans-sour-on-economy-as-inflation-expectations-hit-highest-level-since-1991-145631578.html

Pessimism over the inflation outlook soared again in March as one year-inflation expectations jumped to 4.9% from 4.3% the month prior. Just two months ago, consumers had only expected inflation of 3.3% over the next year.

Long-run inflation expectations, which track expectations over the next five to 10 years, climbed, too, hitting 3.9% in March, up from 3.4% in February. This marks the highest level of long-term inflation expectations since 1991. Also in the release, the expected change in unemployment hit its lowest level since the Great Financial Crisis.

There's a graph of the 5-10 year inflation expectation too at the finance.yahoo link above, as well as one of the Consumer Sentiment that's better than the one I embedded in post #12 above because it goes back to 2003.
