Here’s a sight for voters’ sore eyes: nearly $4 gas.

The average price of gas is poised to fall below that threshold for the first time since July, driven lower by seasonal factors that are reducing demand.

The national average price for a gallon of gasoline early Monday was about $4.01, according to data from AAA. That’s down roughly 14 cents since Election Day, when it stood at $4.15 a gallon, and down 36 cents, or a little more than 8%, from a month ago when the price stood around $4.37.
