Washington, D.C. overwhelmingly voted for Governor Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts, the Democratic candidate. Vice President George H. W. Bush received 14.3% of the vote. This is the most recent election in which the Republican candidate received more than 10% of the vote in the District of Columbia, and it was one of only two contests that shifted more Republican in 1988 compared to 1984, the other being Tennessee.
