1984 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania


The 1984 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania took place on November 6, 1984, and was part of the 1984 United States presidential election. Voters chose 25 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Pennsylvania voted for the Republican nominee, President Ronald Reagan, over the Democratic nominee, former Vice President Walter Mondale. Reagan won Pennsylvania by a margin of 7.35%.
Reagan won the state by sweeping the small towns and rural areas of central Pennsylvania and performing well in the traditionally Republican suburbs of Philadelphia, but the race was kept within single digits by Mondale’s strong showing in traditionally Democratic Western Pennsylvania, along with decisive double-digit wins in the cities of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia., this is the last election in which Lackawanna County voted Republican. It is along with the two Dwight D. Eisenhower/Adlai Stevenson II elections of 1952 and 1956, one of only 3 elections since the Civil War in which Pennsylvania voted more Democratic than neighboring New York.
