Event Announcement

Exploring the Rural Vote

• In The Rural Voter: The Politics of Place and the Disuniting of America, Nicholas F. Jacobs and Daniel M. Shea examine in detail the growing political divide between rural and urban America.

• Combining deep empirical research (including more than 10,000 survey responses from rural voters) with empathy built from real-world experience, The Rural Voter tells an important story not only of how geography matters in American politics but also begins to answer the much more important question:

  Why?

On the precipice of a uniquely consequential national election, The Rural Voter sheds essential light on the evolution of this increasingly powerful force in American politics: the rural voting bloc. And, more importantly, it helps us see a path toward rural and urban Americans bridging current divides to find more common ground.
