Vigo County, home to Terre Haute and Indiana State University, voted with the presidential winner in nearly every election for decades before breaking that pattern; its R+18.1 margin in 2024 reflects a broader working-class realignment across the Midwest.

The county's recent history is a story of close margins. The Democratic margin reached thirty-one points in 1936; the Republican margin reached twenty-two points in 1972. Most other elections have been decided by single-digit points.

Vigo County's demographics — a population of 106,109, a 85% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $52,976 — situate the county close to national averages on several dimensions. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Shiawassee County and Oneida County.
