Le Département a, également, connu une certaine stabilité politique. Entre 1869 et 1985, il a été très favorable à la gauche qui lui a donné cinq présidents : les radicaux Gustave Lhopiteau (1907-1920), Maurice Viollette (1920-1960), Edmond Desouches (1976-1979) et Robert Huwart (1979-1986) et le socialiste Émile Vivier (1960-1976).
