U.S. House
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.
With a 2024 presidential margin of R+29.1 across roughly 59,000 residents, this district reflects the deeply entrenched Republican lean common to rural Mississippi, where low population density and a predominantly non-urban electorate shape consistent voting patterns.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 96.5 points in 1940 and a Republican high of 73.6 points in 1964. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 9.7 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 29.1 points.
A population of 59,487, a 60% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $60,461 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State Senate District 7 and State Senate District 8.
