Analysis[edit]
Virginia voted for Bush by 8.03%. Although it was a comfortable margin, this made Virginia Bush's narrowest win in a state that had been carried by Bob Dole in 1996 (narrowly ahead of Colorado, which Bush won by 8.36%). Bush did well in most of rural Virginia, making some inroads into then-traditionally Democratic southwest Virginia, and also carried the highly-populated suburban areas outside Washington, D.C. (Fairfax, Prince William, Loudoun) and Richmond (Henrico, Chesterfield), as well as the independent city of Virginia Beach, which has a largely suburban character. However, he underperformed in Fairfax County, the most populous jurisdiction in the state, winning it by a slightly smaller margin than Dole had won it by amid his 8.5% national defeat in 1996.
