Surry County, tucked along the south bank of the James River, has trended toward razor-thin margins after decades of lopsided Democratic results, reflecting broader rural Virginia realignment in one of the state's least-populous jurisdictions.

The county's recent history is a story of close margins. The Democratic margin reached seventy-nine points in 1932; the Republican margin reached thirty-three points in 1972. Most other elections have been decided by single-digit points.

Surry County's demographics — a population of 6,549, a 55% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $78,041 — situate the county close to national averages on several dimensions. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Issaquena County and Marlboro County.
