Lackawanna County, anchored by Scranton in Pennsylvania's northeastern corner, has shifted from reliably Democratic to competitive over the past decade, with its 2024 presidential margin of D+2.8 reflecting the continued realignment of working-class Catholic and union households.

Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 47.6 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 33.4 points in 1924. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 5.6 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 2.8 points.

A population of 216,146, a 80% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $66,223 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Luzerne County and Erie County.
