==Politics== {{Unreferenced section|date=January 2021}} As part of [[Yankee]]-settled Northern Illinois, Bureau County became powerfully Republican for the century following [[American Civil War|the Civil War]]. The only Democrat to carry the county between 1856 and 1988 was [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] during his landslide 1932 victory, although [[Progressive Party (United States, 1912)|Progressive]] [[Theodore Roosevelt]] did carry the county during the 1912 election. Between 1988 and 2012, the county trended Democratic β [[Bill Clinton]] won pluralities in both his elections and [[Barack Obama]] won an absolute majority in 2008 and nearly did so in 2012 β however concern with lack of employment opportunities in the Rust Belt led to a powerful swing toward [[Donald Trump]] in 2016 for the best GOP result since [[Ronald Reagan]]βs 1984 landslide. {{PresHead|place=Bureau County, Illinois|source=<ref>{{cite web|url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS|title=Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections|first=David|last=Leip|website=uselectionatlas.org|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180323225526/https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/|archive-date=March 23, 2018}}</ref>}} <!-- PresRow should be {{PresRow|Year|Winning party|GOP vote #|Dem vote #|3rd party vote #|State}} --> {{PresRow|2024|Republican|9,784|5,900|387|Illinois}} {{PresRow|2020|Republican|10,411|6,669|414|Illinois}} {{PresRow|2016|Republican|9,281|6,029|1,261|Illinois}} {{PresRow|2012|Republican|8,164|8,134|388|Illinois}} {{PresRow|2008|Democratic|7,911|8,889|353|Illinois}} {{PresRow|2004|Republican|9,822|7,961|119|Illinois}} {{PresRow|2000|Republican|8,526|7,754|543|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1996|Democratic|6,528|7,651|1,894|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1992|Democratic|6,836|7,551|3,520|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1988|Republican|8,896|7,354|101|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1984|Republican|11,741|6,925|99|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1980|Republican|11,484|5,753|1,350|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1976|Republican|10,854|7,566|228|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1972|Republican|12,786|6,133|33|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1968|Republican|11,216|6,304|1,183|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1964|Republican|9,552|9,086|0|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1960|Republican|12,597|7,786|24|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1956|Republican|13,909|5,781|21|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1952|Republican|14,300|6,173|25|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1948|Republican|11,207|6,463|78|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1944|Republican|11,802|6,976|51|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1940|Republican|13,258|8,274|75|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1936|Republican|10,462|9,516|344|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1932|Democratic|8,721|10,309|250|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1928|Republican|11,557|6,486|90|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1924|Republican|9,457|1,995|4,211|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1920|Republican|9,968|2,354|980|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1916|Republican|8,213|5,793|608|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1912|Progressive|1,816|2,800|4,537|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1908|Republican|5,280|2,871|1,035|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1904|Republican|5,624|1,917|1,204|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1900|Republican|5,478|3,523|626|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1896|Republican|5,474|3,961|287|Illinois}} {{PresFoot|1892|Republican|3,924|3,555|702|Illinois}}
