Florence, a sparsely populated county in Wisconsin's Northwoods, recorded a nearly 50-point Republican presidential margin in 2024—among the widest gaps in a state that has repeatedly decided on razor-thin statewide margins.

The Democratic margin in Florence County peaked at twenty-seven points in 1964. By 1996 the county had flipped, voting Republican for the first time in many years. The 2024 margin was fifty points, the most Republican-leaning result in the county's modern history.

The economic context is the key. Florence County's median household income of $61,086 sits well below state and national norms, and 7% of residents live below the federal poverty line. The shift here is part of a broader realignment of working-class places across the country. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Valley County and Mason County.
