Despite hosting a mid-sized regional university, Bulloch County backed the Republican presidential nominee by 29 points in 2024, reflecting a pattern common to rural southeast Georgia counties where campus influence has yet to shift the broader electorate.
The Democratic margin here reached ninety-eight points in 1932. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved five points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was twenty-nine points. The recent movement, modest against a deep Democratic baseline, mirrors a broader rightward drift across the Black Belt.
The economic context is part of the story: a median household income of $58,810 and a 23% poverty rate. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of McDuffie County and Kershaw County.
