The 1904 United States presidential election in Kentucky took place on November 8, 1904. All contemporary 45 states were part of the 1904 United States presidential election. Voters chose 13 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.
Ever since the Civil War, Kentucky had been shaped politically by divisions created by that war between secessionist, Democratic counties and Unionist, Republican ones,Sullivan, Robert David; ‘How the Red and Blue Map Evolved Over the Past Century’; America Magazine in The National Catholic Review; June 29, 2016 although the state as a whole leaned Democratic throughout this era and the GOP had carried the state only oncePhillips, Kevin P.; The Emerging Republican Majority, p. 350 978-0-691-16324-6 – by a very narrow margin in 1896https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/compare.php?year=1920&fips=21&f=0&off=0&elect=0&type=state Dave Leip’s U.S. Election Atlas Presidential General Election Results Comparison – Kentucky when northern parts of the state were affected by hostility towards William Jennings Bryan, and state native John M. Palmer drew votes from the Democrats.Harrison, Lowell Hayes; A New History of Kentucky, p. 268 9780813176307
Kentucky was won by the Democratic nominees, Chief Judge Alton B. Parker of New York and his running mate Henry G. Davis of West Virginia. They defeated the Republican nominees, incumbent President Theodore Roosevelt of New York and his running mate Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana. Parker won the state by a narrow margin of 2.69%.
Despite Parker losing nationally in a landslide, he marginally improved on Bryan's win from 1900, although doing less well than predicted a week beforehand, when polls suggested Parker would win by 22 thousand votes or twice his actual plurality.‘Forecasts of Presidential Election’; Montgomery Advertiser, October 29, 1904, pp. 13-14
