Lincoln County's 2024 presidential margin of R+65.2 places it among the most one-sided counties in the state, reflecting the deeply rural, agriculturally rooted character of north-central Kansas, where population has steadily declined for decades.

The Republican margin in Lincoln County reached its widest at seventy points in 1952. The margin in 2024 was sixty-five points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Lincoln County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $57,500, a 93% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 2,923 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled.
