United States presidential election in Arkansas, 2004

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the 2004 presidential election, incumbent President George W. Bush won a majority of the popular vote in Arkansas, and the state's six electoral votes, as in 2000. The only areas that went for Democratic opponent John Kerry were the Mississippi Valley and the state capital, Little Rock.

Although Arkansas is the home of former Democratic Governor and President Bill Clinton, who won his state's electoral vote in both 1992 and 1996, Democratic nominees Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004 were both unsuccessful in carrying Arkansas, which went to Republican nominee George W. Bush in both elections.
