rdf:langString The 1984 United States presidential election in New York took place on November 6, 1984, as part of the 1984 United States presidential election. All 50 States and the District of Columbia participated in this election. Voters in New York chose 36 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who selected president and vice president. New York was won by Ronald Reagan with 53.84% of the popular vote over Walter Mondale with 45.83%, a victory margin of 8.01%. This made New York about 10% more Democratic than the nation overall. This was the third election since the Civil War (the first two being 1952 and 1956), in which New York voted less Democratic than neighboring Pennsylvania. The county results indicate a then-typical split between New York's rural upstate and the large suburban counties around New York City, on the one hand, and the urban centers of New York City, Buffalo, and Albany, on the other. While Mondale carried the four most heavily populated boroughs of New York City overall with 61% of the vote, the strong Republican performance across most of the upstate as well as in the heavily-populated suburban counties of Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester was able to secure the state's electoral votes for Reagan. A portent of the future was seen in Mondale carrying Tompkins County, home of the college town of Ithaca. He was only the third Democrat to do so since the Civil War, after Woodrow Wilson in 1912 and Lyndon Johnson in 1964; Reagan thus became the first-ever Republican to win the White House without carrying this county since its founding in 1817. Mondale managing this even whilst losing the national popular vote by over 18% indicated the county's strong Democratic trend; it has given every subsequent Democratic nominee a double-digit margin, every Democrat from 2004 on over 60%, and every Democrat from 2008 on over 66% of its vote. As 2020, this remains the last time that New York has been carried by a Republican presidential nominee, as well as the last time that Schenectady County has done so. It is also the last time that a Republican has won a majority in Broome County.
