Cambria's coal and steel legacy built one of Pennsylvania's strongest union-Democratic traditions, but the county has swung sharply rightward over two decades — its R+39.7 margin in 2024 reflects one of the sharpest partisan realignments in the state.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 35.4 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 41.2 points in 1920. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 2.3 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 39.7 points.
A population of 131,538, a 90% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $58,418 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Dickenson County and Buchanan County.
