GEORGE H.W. BUSH – 1980 Republican primary
The former U.N. Ambassador came into New Hampshire fairly confident of a win. Opinion surveys showed him comfortably ahead of former actor and California Governor Ronald Reagan, but the race tightened quickly and Reagan surged to grab nearly 50 percent of the vote, more than twice Bush’s take. Reagan went on to win the nomination and then, with Bush as his running mate, unseat Democratic President Jimmy Carter. Following Reagan’s two terms of office, Bush won a term as president.
