California counties vs. 2024
How far has each county moved since the 2024 president?
Democrat aheadRepublican aheadNo changeThe patternStill under 90% countedFar from the pattern
Blue squares are good for Democrats and red for Republicans. The darker squares are counties voting differently for House than for president. Above the black line, a county moved toward Democrats.
52 moved toward Democrats, 2 toward Republicans. The middle shift is D +8.3.
1 far from the pattern
- Imperial: 27 points toward Democrats of the pattern, 70% counted
Being far from the pattern is a reason to look, not a finding. Usual causes are a popular or weak candidate, an unopposed race last time, or a batch of ballots still to come.
