 Republican strength is concentrated in the many exurban townships of the county, while Democratic strength is concentrated in suburbs such as Royal Oak, Birmingham, West Bloomfield, and Southfield.Other suburbs such as Novi, Plymouth, and Troy are relatively split between the two parties, with younger adults tending to support Democrats and elderly residents tending to support Republicans.In 1996, Bill Clinton became the first Democrat to secure the plurality of Oakland County presidential votes since Lyndon Johnson in 1964, and only the fourth to do so since 1892.
