1988 United States presidential election in Kentucky
The 1988 United States presidential election in Kentucky took place on November 8, 1988. All 50 states and the District of Columbia, were part of the 1988 United States presidential election. Kentucky voters chose nine electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president. Kentucky was won by incumbent United States Vice President George H. W. Bush of Texas, who was running against Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis. Bush ran with Indiana Senator Dan Quayle as vice president, and Dukakis ran with Texas Senator Lloyd Bentsen.

Bush carried Kentucky by 11.6 percentage points on election day, the state weighing in as 4 points more Republican than the national average. The presidential election of 1988 was a very partisan election for Kentucky, with more than 99 percent of the electorate voting for either the Democratic or Republican nominees, and only five parties appearing on the ballot.[1] Most of the state's counties turned out for Bush, including highly populated Jefferson County, home to Louisville.[2] Dukakis' strength was mostly isolated to rural counties in the Eastern Coalfield and in the Jackson Purchase.
As of the 2020 presidential election, this remains the last time that Jefferson County voted for a Republican presidential candidate, as well as the last time that Kentucky has voted more Democratic than neighboring Tennessee.[2] Bush carried Kentucky by a solid 11-point margin, winning 84 out of the state's 120 counties. Kentucky in this era was a swing state, with Republicans making substantial gains in federal elections in the state over the course of the 1980s.
Through the passage of some very controversial economic programs, spearheaded by then President Ronald Reagan (colloquially called Reaganomics), the mid-to-late 1980s saw a period of economic growth and stability. The hallmark for Reaganomics was, in part, the wide-scale deregulation of corporate interests, and tax cuts for the wealthy.[3]
Dukakis ran on a socially liberal platform, and advocated for higher economic regulation and environmental protection. Bush, alternatively, ran on a campaign of continuing the social and economic policies of former President Reagan - which gained him much support with social conservatives and people living in rural areas. While the economic programs passed under Reagan, and furthered under Bush and Clinton, may have boosted the economy for a brief period, they have been criticized by many analysts for "setting the stage" for economic troubles in the United States in the 21st century, including the Great Recession.[4]
