Dutchess sits in the mid-Hudson Valley, where an influx of New York City exurbanites has gradually narrowed and reversed a once-reliable Republican margin, leaving it competitive in most statewide races.

The county's recent history is a story of close margins. The Democratic margin reached twenty-six points in 1964; the Republican margin reached fifty-seven points in 1956. Most other elections have been decided by single-digit points.

Dutchess County's demographics — a population of 298,220, a 69% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $99,478 — 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 Oakland County and Hillsborough County.
