The CPI rise averaged 3.5% over the past 3 months on an annualized basis (core CPI: 3.6%)

The August one month increase annualized is: CPI: 4.7%, (core CPI: 4.2%)

CPI graphs galore, all on an annualized basis for comparing to each other and to the Fed's 2% target.

The outcome anticipated by respondents would put inflation well above its current level of 2.9%.

That 2.9% is a 12-month average -- half the data is over 6 months old, too old for me since I am concerned with RECENT inflation, not museum data. Edited to add: 5/12 (42%) of the data were in Biden months. I just don't judge RECENT inflation by an average that is 42% Biden's numbers.
