| Year | D % | R % | Winner | Margin | Context |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 63% | 34% | Biden | D +29 | Biden +29; high mail-in ballot turnout driven by COVID and existing vote-by-mail culture. |
| 2016 | 62% | 30% | Clinton | D +32 | Clinton +32; Trump performs worst of any state in 2016 relative to Romney. |
| 2012 | 71% | 28% | Obama | D +43 | Obama +43; home state of Obama, historic high watermark for D margins. |
State Voting Trend
The most reliably Democratic state outside the Northeast. Obama born here (2008: D+45). Multiracial Pacific heritage, large Asian American and Native Hawaiian blocs, and strong union presence in tourism/government produce consistent 30-point D margins.
