Reagan carried New Jersey with 60.09% of the vote to Mondale’s 39.20%, a margin of 20.89%.[1]
Reagan also swept nearly every county in the state. Mondale’s only county victory was Essex County, where he defeated Reagan 55.1%–43.5%. This remains the last election in which a Republican presidential nominee has won heavily Democratic Hudson County and Mercer County,[2] both of which narrowly defected to Reagan in 1984 primarily due to the support of working-class Reagan Democrats. Reagan's 1.9 million votes is the most received by a Republican in a presidential election in the state's history.
New Jersey weighed in for this election as 2.7% more Republican than the national average.
