Marion County, anchored by the state capital Salem, shifted to R+2 in 2024 after years of narrowing margins — a swing driven partly by Latino population growth in the mid-Willamette Valley offsetting suburban realignment patterns seen elsewhere in the state.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 26.6 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 51.5 points in 1904. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 3.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 2.0 points.
A population of 349,244, a 61% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $77,351 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Polk County and Sangamon County.
