The 1988 United States presidential straw poll in Guam was held on November 8, 1988, 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] [2]
Former Vice President George H. W. Bush won the straw poll by almost 58.9%.
