Garfield County stretches across a vast slice of Utah's canyon country, including much of Grand Staircase-Escalante, and its sparse, rural electorate has delivered Republican presidential margins above 55 points in every cycle this decade.

The Republican margin in Garfield County reached its widest at seventy-eight points in 2000. The margin in 2024 was fifty-nine points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Garfield County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $61,875, a 94% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 5,219 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 Iron County and Washington County.
