<P> The 2016 United States presidential election in Colorado was held on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 General Election in which all 50 states plus The District of Columbia participated . Colorado voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting the Republican Party's nominee, businessman Donald Trump, and running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine . </P> <P> On March 1, 2016, in the presidential primaries, Colorado voters expressed their preferences for the Democratic, Libertarian, Green, Constitution, Nutrition, and Prohibition parties' respective nominees for president . The Republican Party did not hold a preference poll because the party decided to cancel it in August 2015 . Registered members of each party only voted in their party's primary, while unaffiliated voters were unable to participate . </P> <P> Hillary Clinton won the election in Colorado with a plurality of 48.2% of the vote . Donald Trump received 43.3% of the vote, a Democratic margin of victory of 4.9% . This was the third time since achieving statehood that the Republican candidate won the election without carrying Colorado, and the second time since statehood that Colorado has voted Democratic in three consecutive presidential elections . No Republican had won the White House without carrying the state since 1908 . Trump won five counties that had voted for President Obama in 2012; Conejos County, Chaffee County, Huerfano County, Las Animas County, and Pueblo County . The latter two counties had not supported a Republican for president since Richard Nixon's 49 - state landslide in 1972 . </P> <Table> Colorado Democratic caucuses, 2016 <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> <Table> <Tr> <Td> ← 2008 </Td> <Td> March 1, 2016 (2016 - 03 - 01) </Td> <Td> 2016 → </Td> </Tr> </Table> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> <P> </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Candidate </Th> <Td> Bernie Sanders </Td> <Td> Hillary Clinton </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Home state </Th> <Td> Vermont </Td> <Td> New York </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Delegate count </Th> <Td> 41 </Td> <Td> 25 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Popular vote </Th> <Td> 72,846 </Td> <Td> 49,789 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Percentage </Th> <Td> 58.98% </Td> <Td> 40.31% </Td> </Tr> </Table> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> Colorado results by county Bernie Sanders Hillary Clinton Uncommitted </Td> </Tr> </Table>
