Rural Voters Remain Frustrated by Costs as Midterms Near

A new AP-KFF survey finds rural voters still give Republicans an edge on several issues but remain dissatisfied with prices and the economy.

The poll found that many rural voters believe economic conditions have worsened and say groceries, fuel and health care remain difficult to afford. Trump’s approval in rural areas remains above his national rating, but the data suggest turnout and enthusiasm could be affected by economic frustration.
