Mississippi was won by incumbent President George W. Bush of the Republican Party with a 19.69% margin of victory over Democratic nominee John Kerry. Prior to the election, Mississippi was considered a state Bush would win with ease, or a red state. Mississippi has not voted for a Democrat since 1976, when Jimmy Carter carried the state. As of the 2020 presidential election[update], this is the last election in which Pike County, Copiah County, Oktibbeha County, and Yazoo County voted for the Republican candidate, as well as the last time in which the Democratic nominee has won less than 40% of the state's vote.
