Since the 1920s, however, the Republican Party has been historically dominant in county-level politics. For statewide and national-level candidates, Pike County has leaned toward the Republican Party. In 2000 Republican [[George W. Bush]] won 53% to Democrat [[Al Gore]]'s 42%. In 2004 Republican George W. Bush won 58% to Democrat [[John Kerry]]'s 40%. Population growth (and the ensuing influx of new residents) resulted in an increase in Democratic vote share in the county throughout the 2000s; in 2006, Democratic Governor [[Ed Rendell]] carried the county with 53% of the vote, while in 2008 Republican [[John McCain]] won by a margin of only 4% and the county split its tickets between Democratic and Republican statewide candidates. In the 2010s and 2020s, however, Pike, like much of the rest of Northeastern Pennsylvania, trended against Democratic candidates.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Field |first=Nick |date=March 2, 2019 |title=Here's what 2014 and 2018 can teach us about what's ahead for Pa.
