Trump's share of the rural vote bumped up in 2024

According to the NPR Politics podcast today, Trump's share of the rural vote increased from 61% in 2020 to 64% in 2024.   

Of course, Trump's electoral successes have been associated with his ability to attract rural voters.  That said, until I saw (well, actually heard) this data point, I have been somewhat relieved to see that Trump's significant inroads with many sectors of voters, e.g., urban voters, young men, Latino/as, had taken some of the heat off rural voters.
