Virginia voted for Bush by 8.03%. Although it was a comfortable margin, this made Virginia Bush's narrowest win in a state that had been carried by Bob Dole in 1996 (narrowly ahead of Colorado, which Bush won by 8.36%). Bush did well in most of rural Virginia, making some inroads into then-traditionally Democratic southwest Virginia, and also carried the highly populated suburban areas outside Washington, D.C. (Fairfax, Prince William, Loudoun) and Richmond (Henrico, Chesterfield), as well as the independent city of Virginia Beach, which has a largely suburban character. However, he underperformed in Fairfax County, the most populous jurisdiction in the state, winning it by a slightly smaller margin than Dole had won it by amid his 8.5% national defeat in 1996.
