The 2000 United States presidential straw poll in Guam took place on November 7, 2000, Guam is a territory and not a state. Thus, it is ineligible to elect members of the Electoral College, instead, the territory conducts a non-binding presidential straw poll during the general election. In turn cast direct electoral votes for president and vice president.[1]
Texas Governor George W. Bush defeated Democratic Vice President Al Gore by over 51% of the popular votes.
The votes of Guam residents did not count in the presidential election, but the territory has nonetheless conducted a presidential straw poll to gauge islanders' preference for president in every election since 1980.
