Blacktown is known as a largely working-class area, and as such, the electorate has tended to strongly support the Australian Labor Party, which has held the seat for all but three years since its inception. It was briefly marginal during the late 1950s, when long-serving member John Freeman tried and failed to find a safer seat before losing to the Liberal Party of Australia's Alfred Dennis, but has since reverted to its usual tendencies. The current member for Blacktown, Paul Gibson, a prominent backbencher in the Iemma government, holds the seat by a margin of approximately 20%, and is unlikely to face a challenge from any other party in the foreseeable future.
