Midland County posts some of the most lopsided presidential margins in Texas, a reflection of its identity as the administrative and corporate center of the Permian Basin, where the petrochemical industry anchors both the workforce and political culture.

The shift began with civil rights. 1952 marked the realignment in Midland County, by a forty-two points margin. The Republican margin reached its widest at sixty-five points in 1984. The 2024 margin was sixty points.

The political shift has tracked, in Midland County, the political shift of the South more broadly. A 56% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $92,874, and a 11% poverty rate describe the demographic context.
