As Congress argues over farm subsidies and food stamps, Rural Americans complain that elected officials ignore small communities and fail to invest in their future. So found a unique, comprehensive poll of Rural Americans on the role of federal policy in creating economic opportunity for rural people and a future for their communities. The poll was conducted by the nationally respected bipartisan polling team of Celinda Lake of Lake Research Partners and Ed Goeas of The Tarrance Group and released today by the Center for Rural Affairs of Lyons, NE. It surveyed rural voters in the Great Plains, Midwest and Southeast. [cont.]
