The1984 United States presidential election in Kentucky took place on November 6, 1984. All 50 states andthe District of Columbia, were part of the1984 United States presidential election. Kentucky voters chose nine electors to theElectoral College, which selected thepresident andvice president of the United States.
Kentucky was won by theRepublican ticket of incumbent PresidentRonald Reagan ofCalifornia and Vice PresidentGeorge H. W. Bush ofTexas by a 20-point margin overDemocratic ticket of former Vice PresidentWalter Mondale ofMinnesota and his running mateRepresentativeGeraldine Ferraro ofNew York. Ferraro was the first major female candidate for the vice presidency.
The presidential election of 1984 was a verypartisan election for Kentucky, with over 99% of the electorate voting eitherDemocratic orRepublican, though several other parties did appear on the ballot. Reagan carried 100 of Kentucky's counties; Mondale carried 19, mostly in theEastern Kentucky Coalfield. One county–Gallatin County–split its two-party vote exactly evenly between the two nominees, with each receiving 1,042 votes.[2]
Reagan became the first Republican to ever carryCarroll County, a highly secessionist[3] rural Bluegrass county that had been the state's only county outside the coalfields to supportGeorge McGovern 12 years earlier.[4] Kentucky weighed in for this election as 2 percentage points moreRepublican than the national average.
Reagan won Kentucky by 20.7%, a landslide margin slightly greater than his national margin, and a dramatic shift with respect to1980, when Reagan only narrowly carried the state over the Southern DemocratJimmy Carter by 1.5%. Mondale performed well in the Eastern Kentucky Coalfield, but relatively poorly in other traditionally Democratic areas of the state, such as theBluegrass, theJackson Purchase, and theWestern Kentucky Coalfield, relative even to previous national landslide losers such asAdlai Stevenson in1952 and1956,John Davis in1924, andJames Cox in1920. In the Western Coalfield, Reagan became only the second Republican (afterNixon in1972) to carryHenderson County since1928, and to ever carryHopkins County. In the Bluegrass, Reagan became the second Republican, again after only Nixon in 1972, ever to carryOwen County,Henry County,Trimble County,Harrison County, andFranklin County, and the second since 1928 (after Nixon in 1972) to carryShelby County,Bourbon County,Nicholas County, andBath County. Concomitantly, Reagan became only the second Republican, after Nixon in 1972, to get over 60% of the vote in Kentucky, a feat which has been replicated in every election since2012.
