Stratford Presidential Election Results: Trump Totals Hold Steady

STRATFORD, CT — President Donald Trump lost Connecticut in both the 2016 and 2020 general elections, and we're taking a look at how his vote total changed between the two races.

Tuesday was another big night for Democrats across Connecticut as they increased their majority in the General Assembly and swept all five congressional districts.

So how did Trump's support in Stratford compare with his vote totals in 2016, when he was running against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton?

According to the Connecticut secretary of the state, Trump earned 10,516 votes in 2020 and in 2016 he secured 10,534 votes. In 2020, Joe Biden received 17,363 votes in Stratford and in 2016 Clinton received 13,729 votes.

Trump's vote totals were very consistent from 2016 to 2020, but Biden secured over 3,500 more votes than Clinton did in Stratford.

For the entire state of Connecticut, Biden received 974,279 votes compared to Trump's 682,562 in 2020. In 2016, Clinton received 897,572 votes and Trump received 673,215 votes.

Tuesday was the climax of a heated battle for control of the White House, unfolding during a pandemic that killed nearly a quarter of a million Americans before Election Day.

As of early Saturday morning, the presidential election was still too close to call, with votes being tallied in several battleground states.
