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.

Assembly District 121 delivered a 48-point presidential margin in 2024, making it an outlier in a state that leans heavily Democratic statewide. Its rural character and low population density drive voting patterns sharply at odds with the state's urban and suburban corridors.
Across the recorded series it reached a Republican high of 21.3 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 3.4 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 21.3 points.
A population of 132,947, a 90% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $66,526 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Assembly District 124 and Assembly District 118.
