Rising diesel prices could hurt Republicans in the heartland
Original: Diesel prices could crush Republicans in the heartland
Analyst Nate Silver argues that soaring diesel prices could become a political liability for Republicans across the American heartland. Diesel underpins farming, trucking and freight, so higher costs feed quickly into food and goods prices in rural regions. Commenters are debating whether fuel costs could shift voter sentiment in Republican-leaning states.
Why now: Diesel and fuel costs are a live economic concern, and voters punish whichever party holds power when prices bite.
