Fuel pump voltage low?

Suspect I have a bad fuel pump. I checked for power thru the Inertia Switch.
When I first energize the ignition I receive 12v after a couple seconds it drops to 7v. Is this normal? I checked at the connector to pump module and see the same reading. I swapped fuel pump relay and same readings. Just want to makew sure I dont have some other issue before doing pump.

Thanks
Mark

Thank you projectSHO89

I was figuring so but wanted a confirmation.
Looks like I get to battle a fuel pump replacement.
Wouldn't be so bad except I'm in northern Michigan and will be fighting with it outside in a portable shelter..

Thanks again
