Hawaii voted 7% more Democratic than the national average in this election. As a result of Reagan's victory in Hawaii, he became the second Republican presidential candidate to win Hawaii after Richard Nixon in 1972. As of 2020, this is the last time Hawaii has voted for a Republican in a presidential election, making Hawaii one of six states that Reagan is the last Republican presidential candidate to have won, the others being Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and Washington.
The presidential election of 1984 was a very partisan election for Hawaii, with just under 99% of the electorate voting for either the Democratic or Republican parties.[1] As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last election in which any of Hawaii's counties voted for the Republican candidate. This was the third and final time in which Oahu voted Republican on the presidential level.
Reagan won the election in Hawaii with a decisive 11-point win. The election results in Hawaii are reflective of a nationwide reconsolidation of the base for the Republican Party which took place through the 1980s; called by Reagan the "second American Revolution."[2] This was most evident during the 1984 presidential election. No Republican candidate has received as strong of support in the American Pacific states at large, as Reagan did. Hawaii is one of five states alongside Georgia, Maryland, Rhode Island and West Virginia that Ronald Reagan lost in 1980 that Ronald Reagan won in 1984.
