The 2012 United States presidential election in Iowa took place on November 6, 2012, as part of the 2012 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Iowa voters chose six electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting incumbent Democratic President Barack Obama and his running mate, Vice President Joe Biden, against Republican challenger and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and his running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan. Obama won Iowa with 51.99% of the vote to Romney's 46.18%, a Democratic victory margin of 5.81% - a markedly closer result than in 2008, when the Democrats won Iowa with a margin of 9.54%. Romney picked up wins in 16 counties that Obama had won in 2008, most of which were in the western half of the state, while only one county (Woodbury) flipped in the opposite direction. The state would end up voting Republican in 2016, and again in 2020. As of 2020, this remains the last time that a Democratic presidential nominee has carried Iowa. In fact, this marks the last time that a Democrat has carried any congressional district in the state, or more than six counties. As such, this is the last time that a Democrat has carried the following counties at the presidential level: Allamakee, Boone, Bremer, Buchanan, Cedar, Cerro Gordo, Chickasaw, Clarke, Clayton, Clinton, Des Moines, Dubuque, Fayette, Floyd, Howard, Jackson, Jasper, Jefferson, Jones, Lee, Louisa, Marshall, Mitchell, Muscatine, Poweshiek, Tama, Union, Wapello, Webster, Winneshiek, Woodbury, and Worth. This is also the last presidential election in which Iowa voted to the left of Ohio, Texas, Colorado, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Virginia, and the nation as a whole.
