Greene County is considered a Republican stronghold. It was one of only eleven counties in New York that did not vote for [[Bill Clinton]] in 1996, a strong year for Democrats. It supported [[John McCain]] by a margin just under ten points in 2008 over [[Barack Obama]], another Democratic year. In 2012, 54.1 percent of the county's voters chose Republican challenger [[Mitt Romney]], and 43.7 percent chose Democratic incumbent Obama, despite it being again a Democratic year. In 2016, 59 percent of the county's voters chose [[Donald Trump]] while 34 percent chose [[Hillary Clinton]]. It has not supported a Democrat for president since [[United States presidential election in New York, 1964|1964]], and before that it previously did so [[1912 United States presidential election in New York|in 1912]].

In some elections, certain towns in Greene County have had a plurality that have voted Democratic, though the county remains very Republican.
