==Politics== In [[1828 United States presidential election in Vermont|1828]], Grand Isle County was won by [[National Republican Party]] candidate [[John Quincy Adams]] and in [[1832 United States presidential election in Vermont|1832]] was won by [[Henry Clay]]. From [[William Henry Harrison]] in [[1836 United States presidential election in Vermont|1836]] to [[Winfield Scott]] in [[1852 United States presidential election in Vermont|1852]], the county voted for [[Whig Party (United States)|Whig Party]] candidates. From [[John C. Frémont]] in [[1856 United States presidential election in Vermont|1856]] to [[William Howard Taft]] in [[1908 United States presidential election in Vermont|1908]], the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]] had a 52-year winning streak in the county. In [[1912 United States presidential election in Vermont|1912]], [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]] candidate [[Woodrow Wilson]] won the county, making him the first Democratic presidential candidate to win the county and the first since [[Lewis Cass]] in [[1848 United States presidential election in Vermont|1848]] to win any Vermont county. Wilson also won the county in [[1916 United States presidential election in Vermont|1916]]. Republican candidates [[Warren Harding]], [[Calvin Coolidge]] and [[Herbert Hoover]] won the county in [[1920 United States presidential election in Vermont|1920]], [[1924 United States presidential election in Vermont|1924]] and [[1928 United States presidential election in Vermont|1928]], respectively. Democratic candidate [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] won Grand Isle County in all four of his presidential runs, from 1932 to [[1944 United States presidential election in Vermont|1944]]. During that time, Grand Isle, [[Chittenden County, Vermont|Chittenden]] and [[Franklin County, Vermont|Franklin Counties]] became Democratic enclaves in an otherwise Republican-voting Vermont. The county was also won by [[Harry S. Truman]] in [[1948 United States presidential election in Vermont|1948]]. [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]] won back Franklin County for the Republicans in the [[1952 United States presidential election in Vermont|1952]] and [[1956 United States presidential election in Vermont|1956 elections]]. The county went to Democratic candidates [[John F. Kennedy]] in [[1960 United States presidential election in Vermont|1960]] and [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] in [[1964 United States presidential election in Vermont|1964]]. [[Richard Nixon]] carried the county in [[1968 United States presidential election in Vermont|1968]] and in [[1972 United States presidential election in Vermont|1972]], as did [[Gerald Ford]] in [[1976 United States presidential election in Vermont|1976]]. In [[1980 United States presidential election in Vermont|1980]], the county was narrowly won by Democrat [[Jimmy Carter]]; in [[1984 United States presidential election in Vermont|1984]], the county was won by [[Ronald Reagan]], the last Republican presidential candidate to win Grand Isle County. Since [[Michael Dukakis]] in [[1988 United States presidential election in Vermont|1988]], the county has been won by Democratic candidates.

Bush]] by 12 points, with Kerry carrying all six municipalities.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/statesub.php?year=2004&fips=50013&f=0&off=0&elect=0 |title=2004 Presidential General Election Results – Grand Isle County |website=uselectionatlas.org}}</ref> In [[2008 United States presidential election in Vermont|2008]], [[Barack Obama]] carried the county by a 28.2% margin over [[John McCain]], with Obama winning by 37% statewide.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=2008&fips=50&f=0&off=0&elect=0 |title=2008 Presidential General Election Results |website=uselectionatlas.org}}</ref> {{PresHead|place=Grand Isle County, Vermont|whig=no|source1=<ref>{{cite web|url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS|title=Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections|first=David|last=Leip|website=uselectionatlas.org|access-date=April 13, 2018}}</ref>|source2=<ref>The leading "other" candidate, [[Progressive Party (United States, 1912)|Progressive]] [[Theodore Roosevelt]], received 204 votes, while Socialist candidate [[Eugene V.
