Once reliably competitive, Suffolk has moved toward Republican margins not seen since the early 2000s, driven partly by cost-of-living concerns among its large blue-collar and suburban homeowner population.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 15.7 points in 1996 and a Republican high of 55.3 points in 1956. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 9.9 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 9.9 points.
A population of 1,530,146, a 62% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $130,686 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Pinellas County and St. Lucie County.
