Reagan took 68.66% of the vote to Mondale's 30.95%, a margin of 37.71%. Reagan also swept every county in New Hampshire with over 60% of the vote. His victory in the popular vote made New Hampshire his fifth strongest state in the 1984 election after Utah, Idaho, Nebraska and Wyoming.[1]
New Hampshire weighed in as about 19% more Republican than the national average.
Reagan's 68.66% of the vote in New Hampshire is tied with William McKinley's 68.66% of the vote in the state in the 1896 election as the highest percentage of the vote any Republican presidential candidate has ever received in New Hampshire, although McKinley did beat Reagan in terms of margin, winning by 42.78% versus Reagan's 37.71%. As of 2024, this remains the last time that an incumbent Republican president has carried New Hampshire. This would be the only election between 1952 and 2024 in which New Hampshire had lower turnout than the national average. [2]
