Kingsbury County's small, agriculture-dependent population has backed Republican presidential candidates by wide margins for decades, with 2024's R+43.9 result consistent with a long pattern of lopsided outcomes in sparsely settled eastern South Dakota.

The Republican margin in Kingsbury County reached its widest at sixty-four points in 1904. The margin in 2024 was forty-four points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Kingsbury County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $74,000, a 92% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 5,244 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled.
