Stewart County, a rural stretch along the Kentucky border anchored by small farming communities, recorded an R+63.9 presidential margin in 2024—among the widest gaps in a state already dominated by landslide-level rural Republican totals.

The unraveling was not abrupt. The Democratic margin in Stewart County peaked at seventy-eight points in 1932; it narrowed steadily over the late twentieth century. The 2008 election delivered the county to the Republican party for the first time in many years, by a margin of nine points. By 2024, the margin had widened further.

The economic and demographic context is severe. Stewart County's median household income of $63,114 is among the lowest of any county in the United States; 16% of residents live below the federal poverty line. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Grundy County and Perry County.
