Bush won the state in 1988. Hillary Clinton easily continued the Democratic tradition in California, winning the state with 61.7 % of the vote, Clinton 's second highest vote percentage of any state, behind Hawaii. Donald Trump received 31.6 % of the vote, a Democratic victory margin of 30.11 points. California was one of eleven states where Hillary Clinton performed stronger than President Obama in 2012, and contributed to Clinton 's national popular vote victory. The California state result was historically one of the most successful for the Democratic Party nominee by several measures, as Hillary Clinton carried California by the largest margin of any Democratic candidate since Franklin D. Roosevelt swept the state by 35.25 % in his 1936 re-election landslide. Clinton was also the first Democrat since 1936 to win traditionally Republican Orange County. The heavily and densely populated county won by the Democratic Party increasingly came to dominate urban areas and coastal California. Clinton received nearly 72 % of the vote in Los Angeles County, making her the first presidential candidate in history to receive over 70 % of the vote in Los Angeles County, the most heavily populated county in the United States.
