1988 United States presidential election in Oregon
The 1988 United States presidential election in Oregon took place on November 8, 1988, as part of the 1988 United States presidential election. Voters chose seven electors of the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Oregon was won by the Democratic nominee, Massachusetts governor Michael Dukakis, over the Republican nominee, Vice President George H. W. Bush. Oregon was one of just ten states won by Dukakis in an election won by Vice President Bush. It also marked the first victory by a Democratic presidential candidate in Oregon since 1964; Democrats have won every presidential election in Oregon since, although Bush's son Republican George W. Bush came close to winning the state in both 2000 and 2004. Bush's loss marked the first time that a Republican was elected President while losing Oregon since Ulysses S. Grant in 1868.
