Donald Trump's Approval Rating Collapses With Rural Americans

[Historic NY]

The 2024 election saw Trump win 63 percent of rural voters, up from 60 percent in 2020, according to AP VoteCast.

But a new PBS/NPR/Marist poll, conducted between April 21 and 23 among 1,439 adults, shows that Trump's support among rural voters is declining.

According to the poll, just 46 percent of rural voters now approve of Trump's job performance, while 45 percent disapprove. In February, 59 percent approved and 37 percent disapproved.

1. Why does the WH want to defund PBS/NPR...exhibit #1.

If no one reports it, it doesn’t exist. If a tree falls in the woods and nobody hears it…and all that.

2. I have to ask this question!

Who of you really even want to listen to trump’s lies and irrational speeches? Who of you actually get nauseated listening to these irrational and unintelligent stories that he makes up for justification of his action? I really need to know, the sight of him disgusts me, is it me or who else feels that way.

6. I have never listened to him except for bits and pieces on occasion

I watched the first debate with hrc and the insane rambling was too much for me. It seems wise to at least limit exposure and not let the psycho abuse you etc.

10. My wife insisted on watching the March 4 speech to Congress

I was so upset and shouting at the TV with such fury that our dog came over to comfort me.

I will never again sit and watch one of his speeches, but I will catch the lowlights afterwards. I want to know.

3. I hope farmers are waking up.

4. That is still way too high an approval rate imo considering what he has done

[Johonny]

5. Oh well, I still hope Trump gives those people

Everything he promised. Trump being a disaster was totally predictable, but they wanted this. They deserve it.

7. They're going woke in Kansas!

Better late than never. The New York slicker was never for you guys, you just bought the Limbaugh/Murdoch con, because it was so slick, so relentless, so professionally insidious.

8. "collapses" is overused. To me, "collapse" means "not standing."

9. I Wonder Where Is The Missing 5%

The February poll adds up to 96%. This newer poll adds up to 91%.
5% more "not sure"?

11. Ask them if the 2024 election was held again if they would vote the same.

I was encouraged talking to one of my neighbors as she complained about Trump.

But then she finished our conversation by saying "At least we didn't get Crazy Kamala in there!"

Mitch McConnel has been underwater in Kentucky approval polls for decades, but Kentucky keeps re-electing him over and over.

12. +1. Absolutely.

13. Hitler's approval in early 1945 probably wasn't too high in Germany, either

If Trump is at 46%, that is still WAY too high.

The condemned are still way too eager to buy bullets for their own firing squad.
