The Republicans have an overall advantage in the unincorporated areas of the county, while Democrats remain dominant when voter registrations from the county’s 18 cities are pooled together.

The registration advantage has seesawed between the two political parties for several years. In San Diego, the county’s largest city, Democrats outnumber Republicans by nearly 75,000 people.
