The 1984 United States presidential election in Arkansas took place on November 6, 1984. All fifty states and the District of Columbia, were part of the 1984 United States presidential election. State voters chose six electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president of the United States.
Arkansas was won by incumbent United States President Ronald Reagan of California, who was running against former Vice President Walter Mondale of Minnesota. Reagan ran for a second time with former C.I.A. Director George H. W. Bush of Texas, and Mondale ran with Representative Geraldine Ferraro of New York, the first major female candidate for the vice presidency.
Arkansas weighed in for this election as 2 percentage points more Republican than the national average. As of the 2020 presidential election [update] , this is the last election in which St. Francis County voted for a Republican presidential candidate. [1]
Arkansas was the last state to leave the Solid South when it supported Richard Nixon in the 1972 presidential election. Arkansas was Democratic nominee Jimmy Carter's third-highest percentage performance in the 1976 presidential election. [2]
Arkansas switched to a caucus system for the 1984 primary, which resulted in voter turnout in the Democratic primary from 450,000 in 1980, to 22,202 in 1984. The primary system was restored for the 1988 election. [3]
Reagan won the state and placed first in 65 of Arkansas' 75 counties and all four congressional districts. [4] 68% of white voters supported Reagan while 31% supported Mondale. [5] [6]
