  • The 2008 United States presidential election in Tennessee took place on November 4, 2008, and was part of the 2008 United States presidential election. Voters chose 11 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Republican John McCain defeated Democrat Barack Obama in the state by 15 percentage points. Prior to the election, 17 news organizations had correctly predicted that McCain would easily carry the state, and virtually all polling indicated the same. Most news organizations called Tennessee for McCain immediately after the polls closed. McCain slightly improved upon George W. Bush's performance in 2004, despite the nation as a whole trending significantly Democratic in 2008. This was the first time since 1960 that Tennessee did not back the overall winning candidate in a presidential election. It was also the most recent presidential election in which the Democratic candidate received more than 40% of the vote, and the last time that Jackson and Houston counties voted for a Democratic nominee. As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last election in which Houston County and Jackson County voted for the Democratic candidate and the last until 2020 where the Democratic candidate won over a million votes.
