Alaska has voted Republican in every presidential election since 1968, and 2024 held form — Donald Trump carried it by 13.1 points. Its largest city has gone the other way. Anchorage, home to nearly two in five Alaskans, narrowed toward the Democratic candidate in four straight elections: R+15.9 in 2008, the year Sarah Palin sat on the Republican ticket, then R+9.9, R+5.3, a flip to D+1.1 in 2020, and D+1.4 in 2024. By Akashic’s count it is one of only three U.S. cities above 100,000 to trend Democratic across all four, alongside Metairie, Louisiana and Rochester, Minnesota.

The rest of Alaska pulled the opposite way. Anchorage held for Kamala Harris, and Juneau — the capital, a fraction of its size — leaned more Democratic still, edging from D+25.4 in 2020 to D+26.5 in 2024. But the rural and heavily Alaska Native boroughs swung hard toward Trump: Lake and Peninsula Borough moved 29.5 points, from D+19.0 to R+10.5, with Hoonah-Angoon, Yukon-Koyukuk, and the Northwest Arctic each shifting more than twenty points the same way. The single red margin at the top hides how far apart Alaska’s places have moved.

Underneath the politics, Alaska is young and well-paid: a median age of 36, near the lowest of any state, and a median household income of $92,788 — twelfth-highest in the country and above the U.S. $80,734. It is also among the least religiously affiliated, with 65 percent claiming no denomination, fifth-highest nationally. The cross-currents run beneath a top line that has not changed in half a century.
