Each row is a county-allocated estimate of U.S. House votes for this district — county returns apportioned onto its boundary, not precinct-counted. “Vote lead” is the estimated local lead here, not necessarily the winner of the full contest.
Anchored in Milwaukee's urban core, Assembly District 46 delivered a 39.5-point Democratic margin in 2024, reflecting the dense, majority-minority neighborhoods that make it among the most reliably left-voting districts in Wisconsin's lower chamber.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 36.9 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 61.9 points in 1920. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 0.9 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 8.1 points.
A population of 59,231, a 87% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $92,843 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Assembly District 50 and Assembly District 42.
