Pointe Coupee Parish sits along the west bank of the Mississippi north of Baton Rouge, where a once-competitive Democratic stronghold has moved toward Republican margins exceeding 27 points in recent presidential cycles.
The 2008 election was the turning point, when the Republican candidate carried the county by ten points. The 2024 margin was twenty-eight points, in line with the county's new direction.
The demographics suggest why. A population of 20,217, a 61% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $65,961 situate the county in the broader realignment patterns of recent cycles. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Assumption Parish and Lincoln County.
