Not surprised that our city is in northwest Iowa, the rural-Texas of the Midwest.

Looks like overall it votes a lot more DEM than "Rural Texas".... Wink

Obama not only won it in '08, but improved going into '12...   ?!?

Looks like it went for Gore in '00 and might have narrowly voted Bush Jr in '04...

The 2018 CD-04 numbers here were wild DEM, but Steve King was already on his way out.....

Thoughts about 2020 in part of your backyard so to speak?

Sioux City, like a lot of Iowa towns, is far to the left of its rural surroundings. Although Sioux City may be fairly Democratic, it's still pretty right compared to, say, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, or Iowa City, and its surrounding counties are very dark Republican on maps. For instance, here are IA-GOV 2018, IA-SEN 2016, and IA-PRES 2016 county maps, and take note of how deep the blue is in the northwestern counties, even Woodbury (touching the western border with South Dakota and Nebraska, fourth down from the Minnesota border), where the majority of Sioux City is.

How will Sioux City vote for PRES and US-SEN in 2020?

Shoot...sorry about forgetting lol

Honestly, as someone in Waterloo, I don't know much about the politics of the Sioux City area, or even West Iowa in general. However, with what I do know, it might be lean or tilt D, but don't expect a landslide, and don't set yourself up to any expectations. Woodbury, the county that houses most of the city, is a very swingy county which, with the exceptions of 1992 and 2000, has predicted the statewide winner of every presidential election in Iowa since 1948, when we cast our then 10 electoral votes for Harry Truman. Ignoring 1940 and 1944 as well, it's predicted the state's winners since 1920, giving 13 votes to Warren Harding. Oh yeah, and it's also the only McCain-Obama county in the state.

Don't take my word on this though. But still, Woodbury is an interesting county.
