A new political bellwether: Osceola County, Florida

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Furthermore, while anti-socialist sentiment was touted as a reason for GOP dominance in more heavily Cuban South Florida, there's less reason to believe that would be applicable given the makeup of Osceola's Latino voters.
41% : Hillary Clinton won six out of 10 voters in Osceola in her matchup with Donald Trump, and two years later, Osceola kept its status as a big blue county in a sea of rural red throughout Central Florida.
38% : Were this true, one might expect Republican performance to backslide without Trump on the ballot.
24% : Joe Biden still won Osceola in 2020 but defeated Trump by a slimmer margin of 14 points, far less than the 25 points Clinton had won by in 2016.
