Home to Davenport and anchoring Iowa's Quad Cities metro, Scott County shifted from a reliable Democratic stronghold to an R+3.9 result in 2024, tracking a broader blue-collar realignment along the upper Mississippi corridor.

The Democratic margin in Scott County has rarely exceeded thirty-four points in modern history; the Republican margin has rarely exceeded forty-six points. 2024 delivered the county to the Republican candidate by four points.
