Coronado has long been a [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] stronghold; in 2013, about 47% of voters were registered Republican, 25% [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]], and 24% nonpartisan.<ref>California Secretary of State.

Prior to 2020, the resort city had voted for the Republican nominee in each presidential election since at least 1964. From 1968 to 1988, each Republican presidential candidate received over 70% of the vote. However the city has been trending Democratic in recent years, with each of the last four Republican presidential candidates receiving less than 60% of the vote. In 2016, [[Donald Trump]] won Coronado with a plurality of the vote, and [[Hillary Clinton]] received the largest share of the vote for a Democratic candidate since at least 1960.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite web|url=https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/sov/2016-general/ssov/pres-by-political-districts.pdf|title=Supplement to the Statement of Vote Political Districts within Counties for President|date=November 2016|access-date=August 3, 2023}}</ref> In 2020, Democratic nominee and former vice president [[Joe Biden]] won Coronado with 51.50% of the vote, becoming the first Democratic presidential nominee to carry the city in decades. This result was nevertheless significantly lower than his statewide vote share of 63.48%.
