Stamford Presidential Election Results: Trump Vote Down Slightly

STAMFORD, CT — President Donald Trump lost Connecticut in both the 2016 and 2020 general elections, and we're taking a look at how his vote total changed between the two elections.

On Tuesday night, it was another big night for Democrats across Connecticut as they increased their majority in the General Assembly and swept all five congressional races.

So how did Trump's support in Stamford compare with his vote totals in 2016, when he was running against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton?

According to the Secretary of State's Office, Trump earned 16,074 votes in 2020 and in 2016 he secured 16,222 votes in Stamford, though it should be noted 2020 results are still listed as "unofficial" as of Wednesday afternoon.

In 2020, Joe Biden received 32,477 votes and in 2016 Hillary Clinton received 34,148 votes in Stamford.

According to this data, Trump's vote totals decreased slightly from 2016 to 2020, while Biden secured over 1,500 fewer votes than Clinton did in Stamford.

For the entire state of Connecticut, Biden received 974,279 votes compared to Trump's 682,562 in 2020. In 2016, Clinton received 897,572 votes and Trump received 673,215 votes.

Tuesday's vote climaxed in a heated battle for control of the White House, unfolding during a pandemic that killed nearly a quarter of a million Americans before Election Day.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the presidential election was still too close to call and votes were still being tallied in several battleground states.
