KFF-@apnews.com Rural Voters Survey finds rural voters are increasingly worried about the rising cost of living, including health costs, heading into the midterms. Rural voters trust Reps over Dems by a wide margin on cost of living & by a smaller margin on health costs: on.kff.org/4yNL8bH
The KFF bar chart titled "Rural Voters Prefer Republicans Over Democrats To Address Cost of Living but That Gap Narrows on Health Care, While Many Trust Neither Party" shows which political party they trust to do a better job handling the following: the cost of living, the cost of health care, the Medicaid program, the Medicare program, and the Affordable Care Act, or ACA.

The reasons are: similar health condition (36% major, 41% minor, 23% not a reason), immediate information or support (35% major, 38% minor, 27% not a reason), and lack of regular healthcare provider or cost concerns (17% major, 24% minor, 58% not a reason).
