Wood County voted Republican in presidential elections from 1940 to 1992, the only exception being [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] in 1964. The county became competitive between 1988 and 2012, during which time Wisconsin as a whole voted Democratic in every presidential race. In 1996, [[Bill Clinton]] snapped a 28-year Republican streak in the county, taking 45.1% of the vote compared to [[Bob Dole]]'s 39%, while the county gave 55% to [[Barack Obama]] in 2008. Since [[Donald Trump]]'s 2016 win, in which Wood County gave him 56% of their votes, the county has reverted to its previous status as a more Republican county, as no Democratic presidential candidate has won more than 40% of the vote in the county since 2012.
