District 77 recorded an R+26.0 presidential margin in 2024, placing it among the most one-sided state house districts in Florida. That kind of uniform partisanship typically signals a rural, low-density constituency with little competitive history.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 96.2 points in 1892 and a Republican high of 55.8 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 12.8 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 26.0 points.
A population of 183,022, a 47% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $80,293 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State House District 29 and State House District 120.
