==Politics== Like Lewis & Clark County to the west, Cascade County leans Republican but has voted for Democrats four times since [[Lyndon Johnson]]'s landslide in 1964. [[Hubert Humphrey]] easily won this county in 1968, one of nine counties he won. [[Barack Obama]] carried Cascade in 2008 but lost to [[Mitt Romney]] in 2012 by 9%. Since 2012, the county has voted Republican by comfortable margins. In 2020, [[Donald Trump]] won the county with over 58% of the vote, the best performance by a Republican since 1920. The county continued this trend in 2024, when Trump won nearly 60% of the vote. In statewide races, Cascade County often acts as a bellwether county. It has been friendlier to Democrats - Senator [[Max Baucus]] carried the county in all of his elections, and Governors [[Brian Schweitzer]] and [[Steve Bullock (American politician)|Steve Bullock]] carried it in all four elections in 2004β2016. Since at least 1984, no Democrat has won in Montana without winning Cascade County,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Montana Election Results |url=https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?fips=30&f=0&off=99 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060602201757/http://www.uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?fips=30&f=0&off=99 |archive-date=June 2, 2006}}</ref> however, Republicans have occasionally won statewide without carrying the county, such as former Senator [[Conrad Burns]] in [[1988 United States Senate election in Montana|1988]] and [[2000 United States Senate election in Montana|2000]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=1988 Senatorial General Election Results - Montana |url=https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?fips=30&year=1988&f=0&off=3&elect=0 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130530041643/http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?fips=30&year=1988&f=0&off=3&elect=0 |archive-date=May 30, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=2000 Senatorial General Election Results - Montana |url=https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=2000&off=3&class=1&elect=0&fips=30&f=0 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130529174006/http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?fips=30&year=2000&f=0&off=3&elect=0&class=1 |archive-date=May 29, 2013}}</ref> [[Governor of Montana|Governors]] [[Marc Racicot]] in [[1992 Montana gubernatorial election|1992]] and [[Judy Martz]] in [[2000 Montana gubernatorial election|2000]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=1992 Gubernatorial General Election Results - Montana |url=https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?fips=30&year=1992&f=0&off=5&elect=0 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081109115254/http://www.uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?fips=30&year=1992&f=0&off=5&elect=0 |archive-date=November 9, 2008}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=2000 Gubernatorial General Election Results - Montana |url=https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?fips=30&year=2000&f=0&off=5&elect=0 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060603001319/http://www.uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=2000&fips=30&off=5&elect=0&f=0 |archive-date=June 3, 2006}}</ref> [[Secretary of State of Montana|Secretaries of State]] [[Bob Brown (Montana politician)|Bob Brown]] in 2000 and [[Brad Johnson (Montana politician)|Brad Johnson]] in 2004,<ref>{{Cite web |title=2000 Secretary of State General Election Results - Montana |url=https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?fips=30&year=2000&f=0&off=7&elect=0 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081109114957/http://www.uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?fips=30&year=2000&f=0&off=7&elect=0 |archive-date=November 9, 2008}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=2004 Secretary of State General Election Results - Montana |url=https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?fips=30&year=2004&f=0&off=7&elect=0 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081109131625/http://www.uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?fips=30&year=2004&f=0&off=7&elect=0 |archive-date=November 9, 2008}}</ref> and [[Attorney General of Montana|Attorney General]] [[Tim Fox (politician)|Tim Fox]] in 2012.<ref>{{Cite web |title=2012 Attorney General General Election Results - Montana |url=https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=2012&off=9&elect=0&fips=30&f=0 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130530024309/http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?fips=30&year=2012&f=0&off=9&elect=0 |archive-date=May 30, 2013}}</ref> {{PresHead|place=Cascade County, Montana|source1=<ref>{{Cite web |last=Leip |first=David |title=Atlas of US Presidential Elections |url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS |access-date=April 2, 2018 |website=uselectionatlas.org}}</ref>|source2=<ref>The leading "other" candidate, [[Progressive Party (United States, 1912)|Progressive]] [[Theodore Roosevelt]], received 999 votes, while Socialist candidate [[Eugene V.
