Susquehanna County, anchored by dairy farms and natural-gas country along the New York border, has swung steadily rightward over two decades, posting a 44.7-point Republican presidential margin in 2024 that places it among Pennsylvania's most lopsided counties.

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

Susquehanna County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $68,487, a 95% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 38,219 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Hillsdale County and Page County.
