Winchester, one of Virginia's oldest independent cities, has shifted noticeably leftward over the past decade, posting a D+9.8 margin in 2024 — a significant departure from its historically Republican-leaning Shenandoah Valley surroundings.

The county's recent history is a story of close margins. The Democratic margin reached forty-five points in 1912; the Republican margin reached fifty-two points in 1972. Most other elections have been decided by single-digit points.

Winchester city's demographics — a population of 27,913, a 62% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $63,974 — situate the county close to national averages on several dimensions. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Staunton city and DuPage County.
