==Politics== With its rural German-American heritage, Campbell is an overwhelmingly Republican county. It has only once been carried by a Democratic presidential candidate, during [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]]βs landslide victory of 1932. Nonetheless, in the following election when FDR gained an even more emphatic victory by carrying forty-six of forty-eight states, his Republican opponent [[Alf Landon]] carried Campbell County by twenty-five percentage points, making the county Landon's second-strongest in the Plains States (behind [[Brown County, Kansas|Brown County in his home state]]). Since 1940, no Democrat has so much as equaled Roosevelt's 1936 share of the vote, and even before 1932, only [[William Jennings Bryan]] in 1896 gained over forty percent of the vote for the Democratic Party. In 1952, Campbell was Dwight D. Eisenhower's third-strongest county in the nation,<ref>Dave Leipβs U.S. Election Atlas; [https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/stats.php?year=1952&f=0&off=0&elect=0 1952 Presidential Election Statistics]</ref> and in 1964 it rivalled [[Hooker County, Nebraska|Hooker County]] in Nebraska and that famous GOP bastion [[Jackson County, Kentucky|Jackson County]] in Kentucky as [[Barry Goldwater]]βs strongest county outside the South. {{PresHead|place=Campbell County, South Dakota|whig=no|source1=<ref>{{Cite web |last=Leip |first=David |title=Atlas of US Presidential Elections |url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS |access-date=April 13, 2018 |website=uselectionatlas.org}}</ref>}} <!-- PresRow should be {{PresRow|Year|Winning party|GOP/Whig vote #|Dem vote #|3rd party vote #|State}} --> {{PresRow|2024|Republican|706|120|10|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|2020|Republican|747|117|9|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|2016|Republican|704|105|22|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|2012|Republican|616|153|18|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|2008|Republican|591|243|20|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|2004|Republican|708|239|12|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|2000|Republican|739|147|31|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1996|Republican|623|202|145|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1992|Republican|574|222|257|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1988|Republican|909|334|9|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1984|Republican|1,035|214|6|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1980|Republican|1,271|182|45|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1976|Republican|897|489|5|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1972|Republican|1,169|361|7|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1968|Republican|1,216|245|73|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1964|Republican|1,162|411|0|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1960|Republican|1,330|362|0|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1956|Republican|1,268|289|0|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1952|Republican|1,536|168|0|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1948|Republican|1,518|410|17|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1944|Republican|1,047|208|0|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1940|Republican|1,733|416|0|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1936|Republican|1,236|736|55|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1932|Democratic|770|1,116|18|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1928|Republican|1,346|588|13|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1924|Republican|641|46|488|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1920|Republican|1,128|67|388|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1916|Republican|644|163|25|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1912|Progressive|0|150|616|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1908|Republican|627|175|32|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1904|Republican|685|120|20|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1900|Republican|626|250|13|South Dakota}} {{PresRow|1896|Republican|449|369|4|South Dakota}} {{PresFoot|1892|Republican|390|77|204|South Dakota}}
