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. In turn cast direct electoral votes for president and vice president. [1]
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. [2]
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. [3]
