The1984 United States presidential election in Arizona took place on November 6, 1984. All fifty states andthe District of Columbia, were part of the1984 United States presidential election. State voters chose seven electors to theElectoral College, which selected thePresident andVice President of the United States.Arizona was won by incumbent United StatesPresidentRonald Reagan ofCalifornia, who was running against formerVice PresidentWalter Mondale ofMinnesota. Reagan ran for a second time with incumbentVice President and formerC.I.A. DirectorGeorge H. W. Bush ofTexas, and Mondale ran withRepresentativeGeraldine Ferraro ofNew York, the first major female candidate for the vice presidency.
The presidential election of 1984 was a verypartisan election for Arizona, with just under 99% of the electorate voting for either theDemocratic orRepublican parties, and only four parties appearing on the ballot.[1] Nearly everycounty in Arizona voted with majorities for Reagan, a particularly strong turnout even in this typically conservative-leaning state. Reagan's win in Arizona was largely the result of a lopsided 45% victory margin inMaricopa County, the state's most populated county and home toPhoenix. Mondale did best in predominantly Native AmericanApache County, which was typical of his gains vis-à-visJimmy Carter in Native American counties throughout the nation; Reagan thus became the first-ever Republican to win the White House without carrying this county.[2] Mondale also won heavily unionized copper-miningGreenlee County; albeit his performance there was the worst by a Democrat since statehood.
Arizona weighed in for this election as sixteen points moreRepublican than the national average. Reagan won the election in Arizona with a decisive 34-point landslide. NoRepublican candidate has received as strong of support in the AmericanWest at large as Reagan did.
