Iowa’s Rural Voters Show Historic Passion and Engagement

Poll results indicate Iowa’s rural voters say the economy, jobs, and inflation top the list of critical issues for them in tomorrow’s (Tues) election.

37-percent of Iowa’s population lives in rural areas. Nearly 400-thousand Iowans have already cast ballots, and the rural vote could help determine the outcome of the presidential election in Iowa. Rural Democracy Initiative’s Sarah Jaynes says rural voters want elected leaders to make lowering costs and increasing wages for working people a priority – not reducing taxes for wealthy people or deregulating corporations…

The Rural Democracy Initiative poll also found nearly eight in ten rural voters say they are against banning abortion – similar to numbers in March.

Jaynes says aside from high-profile issues like abortion and inflation, rural Iowa voters support candidates who will focus on policies that support local workers…

Again, that was Sarah Jaynes of the Rural Democracy Initiative.
