The Associated Press and KFF released a poll of more than 2,000 rural registered voters conducted over two weeks starting in mid-August 2026. The survey found that about half of rural American voters believe the economy is worse off now than when President Trump returned to office, and identified costs of groceries, gas, and healthcare as top pain points. The findings also show about half of rural voters approve of Trump's job performance, higher than among U.S. adults overall.
