Rural Voters Discussion with Doug Usher (Interview #219)

In the political landscape of the United States, rural voters continue to play a significant role, with their sentiments towards President Trump remaining relatively favorable. According to recent polls, rural voters show some of the President's highest approval ratings, around 47%, which is consistent compared to recent months[1].

The current approval rating is notable, given the deeply divided electorate. Rural voters are somewhat more likely than others to perceive their personal financial situation as worsening, but still maintain support for Trump[1].

When it comes to impeachment sentiment, the search results do not directly mention rural voters' views on impeachment specifically in 2025. However, it is clear that Trump’s approval among Republicans, who make up a substantial portion of rural voters, remains strong (around 90%)[2][4]. Given Republican loyalty and rural support, it is likely that rural voters are generally opposed to impeachment efforts or at least supportive of Trump’s continuation as president.

Polls conducted by Suffolk University and USA Today, as well as NBC and The Wall Street Journal, have delved into impeachment talks-related sentiments[3]. Gallup has also reported that four in ten people believe CBD oil products should be available over-the-counter[6].

For those interested in staying updated on the latest polls around the country, the podcast "Politics. Policy. Polling. Pop Culture." is a valuable resource. Co-hosted by Margie Omero (Democrat) and Kristen Soltis Anderson (Republican), the podcast lifts the hood on the numbers driving the week's biggest stories in news, politics, tech, entertainment, and pop culture[7]. The podcast occasionally interviews pollsters, journalists, and other industry leaders.

The latest posts by the podcast include an analysis of voter shifts from the University of Massachusetts Lowell, voter behavior in New England from Western New England University, and key presidential primary data from the University of New Hampshire[5]. Fox News has also conducted polls regarding Trump, and his approval rating is reported by RealClear Politics[4].

It is worth noting that Trump has fired pollsters, according to CNN[8]. This fact underscores the importance of independent and reliable polling data in understanding the public's sentiments.

In summary, rural voters currently remain a strong support base for President Trump, with stable approval rates and substantial Republican loyalty, while specific contemporary polling on rural views of impeachment is not provided but can be inferred to be generally negative toward impeachment given partisan alignment[1][2][4].
