Biden’s Billions Aren’t Swaying Rural Voters Away From Trump, Poll Shows
by: Arjun Singh 11.06.2023
President Joe Biden is currently behind former President Donald Trump in a poll of key swing states where his administration has spent billions of dollars in rural-area initiatives, according to a new poll by Siena College for The New York Times.
Biden and Trump are both the leading candidates for the Democratic and Republican parties’ presidential nominations, respectively. Biden, whose administration has launched the “Investing in Rural America Event Series” for him and senior officials to visit rural areas to describe their spending initiatives, polls behind Trump between 4 and 10 percentage points in five of six identified swing states, according to the Times’ summary of the poll.
Biden is behind Trump by 4 points in Pennsylvania, 5 points in Arizona and Michigan, 6 points in Georgia and 10 points in Pennsylvania, according to the poll. He leads Trump only in Wisconsin by 2 points, a lead that is within the margin of error.
The Investing in Rural America Event Series was inaugurated by Biden on Nov. 1 with a visit to Dutch Creek Farms in Northfield, Minnesota, where he touted his administration’s investments in rural and farm-specific programs.
“[T]hrough our clean energy initiatives contained in the Inflation Reduction Act, we’re investing nearly $20 billion…$20 billion; the money is there…to help farmers and ranchers tackle climate crisis through climate-smart agriculture and cover crops, nutrient management…and storing carbon in the soil,” Biden remarked during a speech after his tour of Dutch Creek Farms,”
oh, yeah ... THAT’LL really endear the bidenistas to your average farmer ...
So, which is it in Pennsylvania? Four points or 10 points? It says both in the article.
