Worth County's economy centers on agriculture — peanuts, cotton, and timber — and its electorate has delivered Republican presidential margins above 40 points in each of the last three cycles, making it one of southwest Georgia's most reliably conservative counties.
The unraveling was not abrupt. The Democratic margin in Worth County peaked at ninety-seven points in 1932; it narrowed steadily over the late twentieth century. The 1996 election delivered the county to the Republican party for the first time in many years, by a margin of eight points. By 2024, the margin had widened further.
The economic and demographic context is severe. Worth County's median household income of $58,694 is among the lowest of any county in the United States; 24% of residents live below the federal poverty line. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Evans County and Floyd County.
