Venango County has long been predominantly Republican. Only twice since the [[American Civil War|Civil War]] has the county selected a Democratic presidential candidate, and only [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] in his 1964 landslide has gained an absolute majority for the Democratic Party. In 1984, Venango County actually voted fractionally more Democratic than the nation at-large due to hostility towards [[Reaganomics]] in industrial districts, and in the 1992 and 1996 elections it came within two points and one point, respectively of voting for Democrat [[Bill Clinton]], but by 2016 [[Donald Trump]] had gained 68.1 percent to [[Hillary Clinton]]'s 26.8 percent – figures which were long typical of the county.
