Fulton County, tucked in Pennsylvania's south-central ridge-and-valley terrain, recorded an R+72.6 presidential margin in 2024 — among the widest in the state — reflecting a rural, small-population electorate with deeply consolidated partisan preferences.
The Democratic margin in Fulton County peaked at thirty-seven points in 1912. By 1968 the county had flipped, voting Republican for the first time in many years. The 2024 margin was seventy-three points, the most Republican-leaning result in the county's modern history.
The economic context is the key. Fulton County's median household income of $65,836 sits well below state and national norms, and 11% of residents live below the federal poverty line. The shift here is part of a broader realignment of working-class places across the country. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Bedford County and Doddridge County.
