Utah was won by Republican nominee Bob Dole by a 21.07 percent margin of victory. This was Dole's highest margin of victory for any state in the country.[1] Dole also obtained 54.37 percent of the vote in Utah, higher than any other state.[2]
As of the 2020 presidential election[update], this is the last election in which Tooele County and Carbon County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.[3] This also marked the first time since statehood that a president won two terms without ever carrying Utah.
