Editing Floyd County, Iowa (section)

==Politics==
Prior to 1988, Floyd County was strongly Republican in presidential elections. In only four elections from 1896 to 1984 did a Republican presidential candidate fail to win the county. Starting with the 1988 election, the county consistently backed Democratic Party presidential candidates up until the 2016 election. In that presidential election, the county swung 29.5 points Republican with [[Donald Trump]] winning the county by over 14 points after [[Barack Obama]] won the county by a similar margin 4 years earlier.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cnbc.com/heres-a-map-of-the-us-counties-that-flipped-to-trump-from-democrats/|title=Here's a map of the US counties that flipped to Trump from Democrats|website=www.cnbc.com|access-date=March 10, 2019}}</ref>
