  1. As much as I don’t believe Trump has picked up a substantial portion of the black vote, I don’t believe this.

    Edit: I *do* think it’s more evidence that polling just isn’t working right now.

  2. As I always say: these polls are bullshit. Go vote when the time comes… but anyone in rural areas who think Trump is the answer is brainwashed and mistakenly self disenfranchised. Or racist.

  3. If that’s true, it’s game over for the felon guy. However, I’m planning to vote and get involved however I can…just in case.

  4. This is why I’m not particularly enamored with polling right now.

    The data that we’re getting does not make a lick of sense, *especially* in crosstabs. Biden’s not ahead with rural voters. Trump’s not ahead with the youth. But rather than looking at that and saying, “Well, maybe we’re doing modelling wrong”, the pollsters generally say, “Well, the data can’t be wrong, so let’s try to explain away weird discrepancies by another means. Maybe things are just changing.”

    No. The modelling’s wrong. Go back to the model and try to figure out where your weighting is screwing up.

  5. He’s the only candidate that has any interest in helping rural voters so it would be good for them to support a President for the middle and lower class instead of oil barrons and billionaires.

  6. This latest development must pain Newsweek, but it only had two choices; either ignore this survey’s results like FOX NEWS has or get in line and report what every other source is saying.

    This doesn’t mean that this survey is accurate.

  7. I grew up in very rural midwest. I truly believe the majority of people there are good hard working people. You’ve got to remember that these are simple farmers, people of the land. The common clay of the new west. You know…morons.

    Jokes aside, they may be good people, but for the most part they are long gone to anything outside of Fox News or even Newsmax. Media is evil unless they’re one of the few right wing outlets.

  8. Until Biden is consistenly 6-8 points up none of this eliminates the margin of error

  9. The poll also has Biden tied with urban voters, so no. I don’t believe this bullshit.

  10. In 2016 I became addicted to checking polls. I voted third party because I had always voted Republican and then saw four years of Trump.

    Since then I’ve decided to take action. I’ve donated what I could to Biden voted and encouraged others to vote. I encourage others to do the same.

    Polling has never been perfect, and this election is unlike any other, including the two before it. So just take action towards the desired goal.

  11. Whatever the polls say, I just want to get out the vote as much as possible.

    Not only are Republicans likely to pull shenanigans, intimidate voters, etc, but I want Biden to win by the highest margin possible. I want Trump to get fucking obliterated.

  12. I live in rural America and maybe I have been seeing signs of this. I know there are way less trump signs and flags this year than any of the last what 8+ years now. Also many people who still support him seem ashamed. For years in normal conversation with people they just brought up trump even when off topic and completely unprovoked. Seriously you could be pumping gas minding your own business and the person on the other side of the pump would randomly start talking to you and it was always about trump or people being woke. Typical rightwing bullshit.

    Not outside of a few diehards I don’t hear or see it. Even some of the far right people in my family have seemed to chill on trump a bit. Mind you these people have never and will never vote for someone without an R in front of their name. But honestly it’s nice that the groveling has subsided a bit.

  13. Can we just vote now? I’d like to vote now. I’m tired.

  14. I am not trusting this poll, but I can see with my own eyes that his support is waning. I live in a rural area for part of the year, and I was at the local watering hole last weekend. Trump came on the TV and 3 people sitting at the bar, said something like “I can’t stand him or his voice..I’m definitely not voting for him” with serious disgust and all 3 nodded in agreement. They also said they weren’t voting for Biden, but at that point it doesn’t even matter. And who knows, those could be the same type of person that said they weren’t voting for Trump in 2016, but did so behind closed doors…but this time for Biden.

    The serious lack of flags and stupid merch is also super telling. Sure some people are still wearing it, I also saw a person flaunting at the same bar, but it is not at all to the level it was 2016-2021.

  17. These polls are not the election. Ignore them. Get out and vote Biden.

  18. Trump is toast if he can’t even lead rural voters. He’s fucked. Let’s all make sure we vote.

  19. MAGAts really thought the being found guilty in the trial would get him more votes

  20. I don’t exactly believe Joe Biden is leading with rural voters, but I can definitely tell you that in my rural area, there are far less Trump flags and signs than there were in 2020. I could definitely believe Trump’s margin has shrunk with rural voters.

  21. I have no idea if this polling is accurate, but I was in a rural area of my state last week and did see one barn with BIDEN painted on it in huge letters. I was definitely caught off-guard as there were tons of signs for the other guy and it’s a pretty MAGA area.

  22. Fixed it

    Joe Biden leads with IQ s over 60 rural voters

  23. I strongly doubt that this is the case and I imagine the poll in question is of questionable quality

  24. “Joe Biden now leads Donald Trump among rural voters.

    How this hurts Joe Biden.

    Film at 11”

  25. I live in a very rural state, the northern part of the state was hard for trump, flags signs, stickers etc. now when I drive through the northern part of the state at least half the trump flags and yard signs have come down.

  26. Believe it, Charlie Kirk. Rural voters do actually care about decorum and respect for authority. Trump is a criminal who refuses to accept accountability. He’s toast.
