George W. Bush Republican George W. Bush Republican The 2004 United States presidential election in Nebraska took place on November 2, 2004, and was part of the 2004 United States presidential election.

Nebraska, a rural Great Plains state, is a Republican and conservative stronghold.

Voters here gave an overwhelming victory to George W. Bush, who received more than twice the number of votes of his challenger, John F. Kerry.

Bush carried every congressional district, and every county except substantially Native American Thurston County which Kerry won by a narrow 2.43 percent margin.

With 65.9% of the popular vote, Nebraska would prove to be Bush's fourth strongest state in the 2004 election after Utah, Wyoming and Idaho.
