Preferred term

rural vote  

Definition

  • FOLLOWING THE MIGRATION by rural America to the big cities of the north, the rural vote seemed to be overlooked. While rural voters served as the cornerstone for Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal Programs that led to his re-election for an unprecedented fourth term, rural voters seem to be more conservative in recent presidential elections.
