The 2008 United States presidential election in Guam was held on November 4, 2008, as part of the 2008 General Election in which all 50 states plus The District of Columbia participated.

Despite the fact that Guam lacks representation in the Electoral College, the island territory has conducted a straw poll for the office of President since 1980, when it picked then-incumbent President Jimmy Carter over Ronald Reagan. In every poll conducted from 1984 to 2012, the results accurately predicted the winner of the election on the mainland.

Democratic Party nominee Barack Obama won the vote with over 60% of the vote.[1]
