Why have these two counties been trending R? I noticed on the presidential level Romney's win in Valusia was the first since 1988. With the exception of 2008 Volusia seems to have been steadily becoming more Republican. Even Rick Scott outperformed his statewide margin here twice.

Palm Beach recently seems to have moving slightly R too recently.

I think it's just the elderly swinging right.  Note that Crist improved over Obama 2012 in Palm Beach.  This is the counterbalance to Miami.  Florida is New Mexico attached to West Virginia in terms of trends, and that averages out pretty even.

Volusia is Daytona Beach and culturally more southern than South Florida (but not Panama City southern). I could see Hillary losing Volusia but improving on Obama in Palm Beach with all the transplanted NYers.

The PBC GOP is losing members as the number of registered independents rise, oddly enough.

In 2000, Volusia county was't too friendly to Gore. In one precinct he only got about -4000% of the vote according to the numbers they used to call Florida for Bush on election night. -16,022 votes in precinct is getting your ass kicked.

Aren't the Silents right of the Boomers?  I would expect the elderly vote to start moderating a bit over the next 10-15 years, until Gen X hits 65.  I believe Boomers are only lean GOP.
