==Politics== From the founding of the Republican Party in 1854 through 1984, the party won nearly every presidential election in Buchanan County. The exceptions were 1864, 1912 (when former Republican [[Theodore Roosevelt]] ran as a [[Progressive Party (United States, 1912β1920)|Progressive]], allowing Democrat [[Woodrow Wilson]] to win the county with a sub-40% plurality), the two landslide elections of [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] in 1932 and 1936, and the landslide election of [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] in 1964. The county took a leftward shift beginning in 1988, voting for the Democratic nominee in every election from then until 2012 and by a margin of at least 10% in each election in that span except for 1992 and 2004. In 2016, [[Donald Trump]] swung the county back to the right, shifting the county 29% to the right from 2012, as Trump won the county by a margin of over 15%. Trump improved on this performance in 2020, taking nearly 60% of the county's vote and winning by a margin of almost 21%, the best vote share for any candidate in the county since 1964. Trump did even better in 2024, winning more than 63% of Buchanan County's vote and achieving a margin of victory of more than 28%, the best Republican performance in the county since [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]] in his 1952 landslide. {{PresHead|place=Buchanan County, Iowa|whig=no|source1=<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS|title=Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections|last=Leip|first=David|website=uselectionatlas.org|access-date=April 25, 2018}}</ref>}} <!-- PresRow should be {{PresRow|Year|Winning party|GOP/Whig vote #|Dem vote #|3rd party vote #|State}} --> {{PresRow|2024|Republican|6,790|3,766|194|Iowa}} {{PresRow|2020|Republican|6,420|4,169|185|Iowa}} {{PresRow|2016|Republican|5,510|3,970|772|Iowa}} {{PresRow|2012|Democratic|4,450|5,911|174|Iowa}} {{PresRow|2008|Democratic|4,139|6,050|153|Iowa}} {{PresRow|2004|Democratic|4,797|5,608|70|Iowa}} {{PresRow|2000|Democratic|4,092|5,045|273|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1996|Democratic|3,043|4,997|911|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1992|Democratic|3,313|4,166|2,175|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1988|Democratic|3,495|4,778|48|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1984|Republican|4,965|4,129|58|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1980|Republican|5,041|3,605|776|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1976|Republican|4,794|4,258|171|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1972|Republican|5,277|3,609|162|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1968|Republican|4,541|3,670|463|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1964|Democratic|3,187|5,621|15|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1960|Republican|5,179|4,251|3|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1956|Republican|5,512|3,513|10|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1952|Republican|6,431|3,019|34|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1948|Republican|4,310|4,127|86|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1944|Republican|4,653|3,841|14|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1940|Republican|5,630|4,649|30|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1936|Democratic|4,734|5,025|135|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1932|Democratic|4,401|5,004|95|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1928|Republican|5,885|3,099|20|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1924|Republican|5,459|1,780|1,412|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1920|Republican|6,334|1,600|63|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1916|Republican|3,000|1,808|47|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1912|Democratic|1,271|1,866|1,582|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1908|Republican|2,552|1,889|136|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1904|Republican|2,798|1,545|249|Iowa}} {{PresRow|1900|Republican|2,958|2,053|183|Iowa}} {{PresFoot|1896|Republican|2,865|2,233|83|Iowa}}
