Trump never had the urban vote and has pissed off a lot of farmers

A switch of 2 or 3% of rural voters in many states could be pretty interesting, maybe giving us a shot at some states we are not expecting like Texas. Iowa for sure and in a close race Ohio may flip to the dems now because of some rural voters switching. It's not something I hear pundits talk about but it could be eye opening compared to old voter models.

According to https://civiqs.com/results/approve_president_trump?annotations=true&uncertainty=true&zoomIn=true&utm_campaign=ticker trump has a 49% disaproval rating in iowa (48% approve).

But I suspect they will fall in line. It depends a lot on the dem nominee. A midwest or TX farmer will run back to trump if we run a socialist who wants to shut down the military and intel agencies to pay for m4a.

Yeah, but that's what corporate media will say.
