Editing Woodbury County, Iowa (section)

==Politics==
For much of the second half of the 20th century, Woodbury County tilted Republican, albeit not as overwhelmingly as most of western Iowa. Between 1988 and 2012 Woodbury County was the quintessential swing county in Iowa. No candidate won it by more than 3.5% over that quarter-century. This was the only county in Iowa that [[Barack Obama]] won in 2012 that he failed to carry in 2008. However, in 2016, Woodbury County swung over dramatically to [[Donald Trump]], who carried it by a 19 percent margin, the largest margin of victory since [[Lyndon Johnson]]'s landslide election in 1964.
