Trump Support Collapses In Rural America As Biden Gains 21 Points

https://www.politicususa.com/2020/06/19/biden-trump-rural-voters.html

Trump won rural voters by 30 points in 2016, but he has lost 21 points of rural support to Joe Biden in the latest Fox News Poll.

"SNIP.....

Here is the Fox News Poll (highlight mine):

Joe Biden gains 20 points with rural voters

Trump’s support with rural voters was eroding long before the pandemic and the economic collapse. Trump’s supporters in rural America were hurt by his failed trade war with China. They saw him do nothing about the opioid crisis. He promised to bring American manufacturing back only to see those jobs not return. Trump attacked their healthcare, and he boasted about a tax cut package that left out rural America but benefitted the wealthy and corporations.

As our own Sarah Jones put it:

here is the evidence that confirms my anecdotal reporting over last 3 years - via living in rural Trump area - that Trump has lost support he can ill afford to lose it here in PA.

Around 21 points. per Fox News poll.

If you dig into the Fox News poll, Trump is leading Joe Biden by only 9 points among rural voters. In 2016, Trump won that segment of the population by nearly 30 points. Via @playbookplus

The enthusiastic support for Trump dimmed (could be ashamed but still supporting) over following:

- attacks on Medicare+Medicaid
- tax cuts for the rich, some larger biz signs down
- Charlottesville, smaller household signs starting coming down
- Mueller investigation
- corona

1. Let's see what Rural America actually does

in November in the privacy of the voting booth. If they stop voting Trump and straight down ticket Republican all the way to dog-catcher I'll be the first to cheer.

2. NICE !!! Are these rural areas in swing states? Jus sayin, we have to focus on those

3. Wisconsin certainly is one of the States.

5. I don't think Texas is quite there yet.

But it is improving.

4. I'm seeing all these polls without mentioning the state

what good does it do if Biden leads by 20 points nationally. It needs to be normalized to electoral votes.
WI, MI, PA, OH, FL, AZ - those are the states that I am interested in hearing about.

7. +1, yep those 6 are the most important

6. I've watched as all of the 2016

hate for Hillary turn into tRump hate in 2020.
