Nassau shifted from a reliable Democratic presidential county to an R+4.2 result in 2024, a roughly 12-point swing over twelve years driven largely by movement among suburban white and Hispanic working-class voters.
The Democratic margin in Nassau County has rarely exceeded twenty-one points in modern history; the Republican margin has rarely exceeded fifty-seven points. 2024 delivered the county to the Republican candidate by four points.
Nassau County's demographics resemble the country more than they resemble most counties. A 57% non-Hispanic-white share, a 5% poverty rate, and a median household income of $146,202 — all within the broad national range. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Atlantic County and Gloucester County.
