Main article: 2012 United States presidential election
Romney won Georgia by a 7.82% margin, an improvement from 2008 when John McCain won by 5.20%. Romney received 53.19% of the vote to Obama's 45.39%. Early County flipped from supporting the Republican candidate to the Democratic candidate, while Chattahoochee flipped from the Democratic column to the Republican column.
Along with Arizona, Georgia is one of two states to vote for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election that voted against Obama in both 2008 and 2012. Obama remains the only Democrat to ever win two terms without carrying Georgia either time. As of 2020, this is the last time a Democratic presidential nominee won the rural Black Belt counties of Baker, Dooly, Early, Peach, Quitman, and Twiggs, and the last time that the suburban Atlanta counties of Gwinnett, Henry, and Cobb would vote Republican in a presidential race. This is also the last time that Georgia has backed the losing candidate in a presidential election and the last time a Democrat won the presidency without winning Georgia.
Democratic primary
Incumbent president Barack Obama was unopposed in the Georgia primary, therefore winning all of the state's delegates.
