The 2004 United States presidential election in Hawaii took place on November 2, 2004. Voters chose four representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Prior to the election, all leading news organizations considered this a state Kerry would win, or otherwise considered as a safe blue state. The state has voted Republican only twice since statehood (in the 49-state Republican landslides of 1972 and 1984).
Hawaii was won by Democratic nominee John Kerry by an 8.7% margin. This is the last time Hawaii was decided by a single-digit margin, as of the 2024 election. Compared to 2000, Bush improved upon his performance by 9.59%, the third-largest swing towards Bush in the country after only Tennessee and Alabama. Bush's strong performance in the state has been explained by the relatively high troop count (10,000) from Hawaii deployed to either Iraq, or Afghanistan.
