The 2004 United States presidential election in Mississippi took place on November 2, 2004 throughout all 50 states and D.C., which was part of the 2004 United States presidential election. Voters chose 6 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.

Mississippi was won by incumbent President George W. Bush by a 19.7% margin of victory. Prior to the election, all 12 news organizations considered this a state Bush would win, or otherwise considered as a safe red state. Southern Democrat Jimmy Carter was the last Democrat to carry this state, in the 1976 election. U.S. President George W. Bush won here in 2004 carrying a majority of the counties and congressional districts.

There were 12 news organizations who made state by state predictions of the election. Here are their last predictions before election day.

Bush won both pre-election polls, each with a double digit margin.

Bush raised $866,580. Kerry raised $599,665.

Neither campaign spent or visited this state during the fall campaign.

The last Democratic presidential nominee to win Mississippi was Jimmy Carter in 1976. Due to its status as a safe red state, little campaigning took place in Mississippi by either of the two major party candidates.
