The 2004 United States presidential election in Alabama took place on November 2, 2004 throughout all 50 states and the District of Columbia, which was part of the 2004 presidential election. Voters chose 9 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.
Alabama was won by incumbent President George W. Bush by a 25.6% margin of victory. Prior to the election, all 12 news organizations considered this was a state Bush would win, or otherwise considered as a safe red state. On election day, it trended Republican sharply, by a swing margin of 10.7% from the 2000 election. Bush won with over 60% of the vote, a first since 1984, and carried most of the counties and congressional districts. Historically, Alabama is a very reliable Republican state that a Democratic presidential nominee hasn't won since 1976.
There were 12 news organizations who made state by state predictions of the election. Here are their last predictions before election day.
Bush won every single pre-election poll, and won each by a double digit margin of victory. The final 3 poll averaged Bush leading 58% to 38%.
Bush raised $3,092,923. Kerry raised $514,589.
Neither campaign advertised or visited this state during the fall campaign.
Bush easily won every poll taken in the state prior to the election. Kerry won a small section of counties in the middle of the state, including winning Alabama's 7th congressional district. In 2000, the state voted for Bush 56%-41% by fifteen points; this year it voted for him by 25 points.
