Editing Worth County, Iowa (section)

==Politics==
From its inaugural election in 1860 through 1928, Worth County backed the Republican candidate in every election with the exception of 1912, when former Republican [[Theodore Roosevelt]] won as the [[Progressive Party (United States, 1912–1920)|Progressive]] candidate. From 1932 to 1980, the county was a bellwether, backing the nationwide winner in every election in that span except for 1960. For the next eight elections, Worth County favored the Democratic nominee in every election, each time by a margin of at least 10% except for 1984. In 2016, the county shifted back to the right, with [[Donald Trump]] winning nearly 58% of the vote in Worth County with a margin of victory of almost 22%. He improved on this in 2020, taking almost 62% of the vote and winning by a margin of victory of nearly 26%, the best performance by any candidate since [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] in 1964, the best performance by a Republican since [[Herbert Hoover]] in 1928, and the best margin of victory for any candidate since 1928 as well.
