Is it surprising that Trump's support from rural voters is sinking?

Farmers need 3 things right now in order to survive. Lower gas costs, lower fertilizer costs, and trade deals with other countries to move their goods. They are getting none of this. The midwest and southeast US have seen a 70% increase in farm bankruptcies and that has a devastating effect on the communities. When Trump said last week that he thought gas and fertilizer prices would be higher, that tells you everything you need to know about what he actually thinks about the rural community.

i am not surprised. trump is not cooperating with israel and although i think trump is being reasonable. they want him to cooperate with israel more. but trump is American first. not Europe not israel etc.

it is a little disappointing that than many people seem to forget the 9.9% inflation we had just two years ago and when gas was over 5 bucks a gallon. You would think that having inflation around 2.5% would be a welcome change.

it isn't.

Obviously... it is... economy and inflation are the top issues. Farmers are getting crushed...

[Dargil]

What percentage of rural people are farmers?

[strateguy632]

@Dargil
very few. maybe 5%?

[strateguy632]

farmers? trump spent BILLIONS to help them. they should be grateful "President Trump has supported American farmers through massive ad hoc financial aid, including a $12 billion economic bridge package'.

I'm sorry that the polling numbers irritate you.

[Dargil]

The first two words say it all.

@strateguy632 Trump's support from rural voters is rising. You are practicing strategic ignorance. Don't forget to vote on November 4th.

Keep your head in the sand if that makes you feel better...

Any idiot knows that farming is crucial in the global economy...
