Farm Vote
Results of a recent PENN
SYLVANIA FARMER Magazine
poll suggest that rural voters could
play a major role in the upcoming
November gubernatorial election.
Polls predict a neck-and-neck race
between William Scranton and
Robert Casey. A decisive vote in
rural areas can tip a close count
between Democratic-dominated
urban districts and predominately
Republican suburbs. So says an
article in the October issue of the
state farm magazine.
More than 840 farmers voted in a
straw poll while attending Penn
State’s Ag Progress Days in
August. The outcome was strongly
Republican. GOP gubernatorial
candidate William Scranton
collected 639 votes (76%), com
pared to 204 votes (24%) for
Democratic challenger Bob Casey.
That’s a three to one margin.
More than 800 ballots were cast
on the most favored candidate to
fill the U.S. Senate seat up for
election. Very few farmers crossed
political fences, says John Vogel,
editor Of PENNSYLVANIA
FARMER.
Incumbent Senator Aden
Specter gathered 621 votes for 77%
of the total. His Democratic op
ponent, Congressman Bob Edgar,
drew 184 votes (23%).
Pennsylvania’s 3.6 million rural
population is the state’s largest
social segment. While farmers
comprise just a small percentage
of rural residents, eight of every 10
fanners registered to vote will do
so. That’s twice the state’s average
for non-presidential elections.
