The 2004 United States presidential straw poll in Guam took place on November 2, 2004, Guam is a territory and not a state. Thus, it is ineligible to elect members of the Electoral College, instead, the territory conducts a non-binding presidential straw poll during the general election. It does not cast direct electoral votes for president and vice president.
Incumbent Republican president George W. Bush won the straw poll by over 64% of the popular vote. This was the highest percentage of a straw poll in Guam until incumbent future Democratic president Barack Obama defeated Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney in 2012.
Results The votes of Guam residents did not count in the presidential election, but the territory nonetheless conducts a presidential straw poll to gauge islanders' preference for president every election year since 1980. 2004 United States presidential straw poll in GuamPartyCandidateRunning mateVotesPercentageRepublicanGeorge W.
