Chautauqua County's manufacturing decline and rural demographic weight have driven a decades-long realignment: a county that backed Bill Clinton twice now delivers Republican presidential margins above 20 points.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 38.4 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 57.9 points in 1924. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 2.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 21.9 points.
A population of 125,544, a 84% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $58,351 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Chippewa County and Cheboygan County.
