Treemap of the popular vote by county
The 2016 United States presidential election in Idaho was held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Idaho voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote, pitting the Republican nominee, businessman Donald Trump , and running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton , and her running mate Virginia Senator Tim Kaine . Idaho has four electoral votes in the Electoral College.[ 2]
Trump was expected to win Idaho; Idaho is a Republican stronghold that has not voted for a Democratic candidate for president since Lyndon B. Johnson 's national landslide in 1964 , and even then it was Johnson's narrowest victory in the nation, winning by less than 2%. Trump ultimately carried the state with 59.25% of the vote, while Clinton received 27.48%. Third-party candidate Evan McMullin carried 6.75% of the popular vote, making Idaho his second-strongest state, only after neighboring Utah .[ 3] Trump got the lowest percentage of the vote for a Republican since 1996 , and Clinton got the lowest percentage for a Democrat since 1984 . Trump is the most recent Republican to win Teton County as of the 2024 election .
