Politics

Oneida County tends to lean Republican, though it was a bellwether from 1928 to 2008, backing the nationwide winner in all but two elections in that span, deviating in 1960 and 1976 (by less than 1%), supporting losing Republicans in two of the closest elections in American history. Since 1964, when Lyndon Johnson carried it in his national landslide, the county has only voted Democratic three times. Two of these wins were by Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996, whose victories were almost entirely due to the heavy third-party performance of Ross Perot, which significantly lowered the Republican vote in the county. In 2008, like the state of Wisconsin as a whole, the county swung heavily Democratic in support of Barack Obama who carried it by a full majority. Since then, the county has voted Republican in every election, and since 2016 by double-digit margins.[14]
