Swing · margin change from the prior cycle. vs U.S. · margin relative to the national result that year. Third-party votes in 2012 are allocated from certified county totals by this place's share of each county's two-party vote — that cycle's precinct source records two-party splits. † 2004 sub-county results are estimated: the source's block-level detail for this cycle was unreliable — either county/municipality-level consolidated reporting (COVID-era) or a precinct-to-block allocation that misplaced votes — so the figures are allocated from the constituent county totals in proportion to the place and scaled to certified totals.

With a 2024 presidential margin of R+49.9, this 32,000-person district ranks among the most one-sided in Iowa's lower chamber, leaving little competitive ground for statewide candidates seeking to chip into rural Republican strongholds.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 5.9 points in 2008 and a Republican high of 13.3 points in 2016. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 2.7 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 12.9 points.
A population of 32,036, a 91% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $86,313 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State House District 92 and State House District 51.
