Red states vs blue states poverty rate, 1995–2024. Do Republican or Democratic states have higher poverty rates? In 2024, Republican-voting states were at 13.1% versus 11.5% for Democratic-voting states. States can switch groups after each presidential election, so swing states move between red and blue over time.
