What the count shows

Added together, the 62 counties compared moved 7.2 points toward the Democrats from the 2024 presidential vote.

Bronx County moved most: D+45.4 for president in 2024, D+66.6 this year

The 10 counties with the largest moves from the 2024 presidential vote, among those with 2,000 or more votes for president in 2024 and a quarter of that counted, and at least half a percent of the state's 2024 vote. Each line runs from the 2024 margin to this year’s.
