President Trump’s support declines sharply in rural America
"After racking up big wins among rural voters in 2016 and 2020, Donald Trump outdid himself in 2024. Nationally, Trump swept 64% of the rural vote to Kamala Harris’ 34%. In the key swing states, all of which he carried, his share of the rural vote ranged from 58% in Michigan to 67% in Pennsylvania.
Since taking office 16 months ago, public approval of Trump’s performance as president has declined sharply. While the reduction in his job approval among the new supporters he attracted in 2024 has been widely discussed, his fall among longtime Republicans in rural areas has gone largely unnoticed. But it has been substantial, and its consequences could be significant for the 2026 midterm election."
