Jasper County, once a nationally watched presidential bellwether, has moved decisively rightward over the past decade. Its mix of rural farmland and the small manufacturing city of Newton now produces Republican margins exceeding 27 points.
The Republican margin in Jasper County reached its widest at forty-six points in 1924. The margin in 2024 was twenty-eight points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.
Jasper County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $71,311, a 92% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 37,954 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 Webster County and Tama County.
