On the other hand, the suburban shift towards the Democratic Party solidified. Very few counties in America show the trend of American suburbs towards the Democratic column better than DuPage County. For nearly a century and a half, the county was a bastion of the Republican Party and conservativism, and much of the county for decades was represented by Henry Hyde in Congress. Prior to Barack Obama's election in 2008, DuPage County had not voted for a candidate who was not from the Republican Party since at least 1860, with the lone exception of the 1912 election when former President Theodore Roosevelt was on the ballot. Even in the five major Democratic Party landslide victories in the 20th century scored by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932, 1936, 1940, and 1944 or Lyndon B. Johnson's 1964 landslide, DuPage County still handed the Republican candidates at least 55% of the vote.
