Knox County's rolling farmland and small-town core around Mount Vernon have produced Republican presidential margins exceeding 40 points in recent cycles, reflecting a broader rural realignment that has deepened steadily since 2008.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 21.5 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 46.8 points in 1928. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 1.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 44.9 points.
A population of 63,142, a 93% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $73,878 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Ashland County and Champaign County.
