Agribusinessmen understand long-term, big picture thinking because that’s the world they operate in. You have bad years and good years, bumper crops and disasters. They understand the trade situation because they live in or near towns all over flyover country that have been hollowed-out by job losses from factory closings that have moved to China.

In short, they “get it” because they are a lot more strategic in their thinking than most politicians, because they want jobs and oppportunities in the US so their families and children and grandchildren can continue to live the kind of lifestyle they love so much.

Because they are good Americans.

These polls were obviously taken BEFORE the dairy agreement with Canada, so even if skewed low, the numbers are sure to improve.

I am not sure the headline is justified by the survey. It seems the survey is just rural people. Its not just farmers. And it does not ask who you voted for last. So if that group has 70% voting for Trump that is about right. If the headline were accurate, it would mean that 30% of farmers changed their mind. But that is not what the pole was testing.

Remember there are a lot of organic little truck farms out there. And some of those always vote democrat. But the multi generational guys are for Trump. Farmers are actually being hit by the Low Carb phase and the strong dollar. Anyone raising Chicken Beef or Pork is doing well. While beans, corn and dairy are hurting.

misleading?? I don’t know if the poll asked first if they voted for trump in 2016. For all we know that 30% would vote differently voted for Clinton and would change to Trump now

h————————————
Our newest poll shows rural residents remain satisfied with Trump’s win by a margin of 54.4% to 35.2%. Zogby polled 1,271 rural residents and farmers for this survey (margin of error is plus or minus 2.5 percentage points).

Zogby asked rural residents if, given a chance, they would cast their ballots differently than they had in 2016. More than 70% said no, although that endorsement may not sound deeply felt.https://www.dtnpf.com/agriculture/web/ag/news/world-policy/article/2018/10/01/survey-shows-rural-support-trump

Fake poll, and fake news.

It is no longer possible to get an answer (let alone an honest one) from a portion of the population which has grow large enough to render polls of the remaining portion of the populace statistically meaningless.

The press, of course, has always lied.
But they used to have a ballpark estimate of how great their lies were.
Now they do not, because they cannot.

That election is 2 years away. More important is getting those folks to the Ballot Box, this November.

This rural resident will, despite the Kavanaugh fumble. I knew we can’t vote our way out of this, but I and my family need more time to prepare for the inevitable war, so I’ll vote for more time.
