The electoral results in 2004 were very similar to the results of 2000. President Bush however won a significant victory in the popular vote becoming the first President since 1988 to win over 50% of the vote. The major issues in the campaign were terrorism, the War in Iraq, the economy and social issues. Voters for President Bush supported him primarily for the war on terror and social issues. Voter turnout was high, which typically would have helped the democrats, but in this case reflected a very successful get out the vote effort by the Republicans.
