The1984 United States presidential election in Wyoming took place on November 6, 1984. All 50 states andthe District of Columbia, were part of the1984 United States presidential election. State voters chose three electors to theElectoral College, which selected thepresident andvice president of the United States.
Wyoming 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 Wyoming, with just under 99 percent of the electorate voting for either theDemocratic orRepublican parties, and only three parties appearing on the ballot.[1] Everycounty in Wyoming voted in majority for the Republican candidate, a particularly strong turn out even in this typically conservative leaning state. The Republican turnout is softest in the middle Southern part of the State, inclusive and extending West ofLaramie, but is ubiquitous.
Wyoming weighed in for this election as 12 points moreRepublican than the national average and with 70.51% of the popular vote, the state proved to be Reagan's fourth strongest state in the 1984 election afterUtah,Idaho andNebraska.[2] Reagan won the election in Wyoming with a 42-point landslide. NoRepublican candidate has received as strong of support in the AmericanWest at large as Reagan did.
Reagan's performance in this election was the strongest-ever performance by any presidential nominee in Wyoming until being surpassed byDonald Trump in the2024 presidential election.This election was the only time that a Republican won consecutive presidential elections by carrying all counties in Wyoming in both instances.
