2008 United States presidential election in Wyoming

Polling in the state gave a hefty and large lead to Republican John McCain over Democrat Barack Obama.

Obama's 82,868 vote total remains the most received by a Democratic presidential candidate in the state's history.

Obama became the first Democrat since Grover Cleveland in 1892 to win the White House without carrying Sweetwater County.

Here are their last predictions before election day: McCain won every single pre-election poll, and each by a double-digit margin of victory.

It is the least populated state in the nation (even less than the District of Columbia), has no major metropolitan areas, and is heavily rural and White/Caucasian.

Large chunks of Wyoming are located in out-of-state television markets—most notably Denver and Salt Lake City.

Obama also won Albany County, due in large part to the presence of the University of Wyoming at Laramie and the tremendous excitement that his campaign fueled among younger voters and college students.

With 64.78% of the popular vote, Wyoming would prove to be McCain's second strongest state in the 2008 election after Oklahoma.

Senator Mike Enzi was reelected in a landslide victory over Democrat Chris Rothfuss, a professor of political science at the University of Wyoming.

Former State Treasurer Cynthia Lummis, a Republican, defeated Democrat Gary Trauner and Libertarian W. David Herbert for the at-large seat.
