Robeson County is home to the Lumbee Tribe, the largest Indigenous group east of the Mississippi, alongside large Black and Hispanic communities — yet its 2024 presidential margin reached R+27.6, a dramatic rightward move from its once reliably competitive past.

The Democratic margin in Robeson County has rarely exceeded eighty-seven points in modern history; the Republican margin has rarely exceeded twenty-eight points. 2024 delivered the county to the Republican candidate by twenty-eight points.

Robeson County's demographics resemble the country more than they resemble most counties. A 24% non-Hispanic-white share, a 27% poverty rate, and a median household income of $41,978 — all within the broad national range. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Martin County and Gates County.
