Una encuesta reciente revela que el cuarenta por ciento de los agricultores estadounidenses que votan por el Partido Republicano están considerando cambiar de partido debido a las políticas de la administración Trump que afectan a sus negocios. El Comité Económico Conjunto del Congreso publicó un informe indicando que los agricultores deben pagar precios de combustible mucho más elevados a causa del conflicto con Irán. Durante la temporada de siembra de primavera de este año, los agricultores gastaron mil cuatrocientos millones de dólares más en diésel en comparación con el año anterior, lo que representa un aumento del sesenta y tres por ciento. En promedio, cada agricultor pagó mil quinientos dólares adicionales para rellenar el depósito de diésel y también se ve obligado a gastar más en fertilizantes debido a los aranceles de Trump y al . Como grandes propietarios de tierras y empresas, los agricultores han constituido tradicionalmente una base de apoyo sólida para los republicanos; sin embargo, una encuesta reciente de la organización Pro Farmer muestra que, de cara a las elecciones de congreso, el cuarenta por ciento de los agricultores están indecisos o contemplan cambiar de partido, y el ochenta y ocho por ciento perciben negativamente las actuales políticas comerciales y arancelarias.   A recent survey shows that forty percent of US farmers who vote Republican are considering switching parties due to President Trump policies that are affecting their businesses. The U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee published a report revealing that US farmers are having to pay much higher fuel prices due to the war with Iran. Farmers spent one point four billion dollars more on diesel during this year's spring planting season compared to last year, representing a sixty three percent increase. The average farmer paid fifteen hundred dollars more to refill their diesel tank, and is also having to spend more on fertilizer due to the closing of the Strait of Hormuz and Trump's tariffs. As large business and property owners, farmers have typically been a reliable base of support for Republicans, but a recent survey by the news organization Pro Farmer shows that leading up to the midterm elections, forty percent of farmers are undecided or considering switching parties, and eighty eight percent view current tariff and trade policies negatively.
