United States presidential election in New Hampshire, 2016 (New Johannson Scenario)



The 2016 United States presidential election in New Hampshire took place on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 United States presidential election, which was held throughout all contemporary 50 states and the District of Columbia. Voters chose five representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice-President.

New Hampshire was won by the Republican nominees, incumbent President Edward H. Johannson of Minnesota and his running mate, incumbent Vice President Neel Kashkari of California. Johannson and Kashkari defeated the Democratic nominees, Governor Charles C. Dickenson of Georgia and his running mate, Attorney General Chris Koster of Missouri.

Johannson took 66.18% of the vote to Dickenson's 33.82%, a margin of 32.29%.

By 2016, President Johannson enjoyed exceptionally high approval ratings, generated by the facts that the United States was then within the midst of a period of domestic prosperity, without any entangling foreign conflicts overseas. Johannson, whose Contract for America agenda enjoyed strong support among broad segments of the American electorate, was created for helping to create this state of affairs. He was especially popular in New England, where his fiscal conservatism and social liberalism fit the region's states very well, in particular New Hampshire. Consequently, Johannson swept every county in the region. Within New Hampshire, he won over sixty percent of the vote in every county, breaking seventy percent in four, and even reaching eighty percent in Belknap County and Carroll County. New Hampshire was one of thirty states where Johannson won every county.
