According to reports, Harris defeated Trump 49.45% to 46.22%. In 2020, Joe Biden defeated Trump in this poll by 14 per centage points.

Guam is a US island territory in Micronesia in the Western Pacific and not a state and hence it is not eligible to elect members of the Electoral College. Its straw poll results, which have been held every four years since 1980, are non-binding and don't count towards the Electoral College.

In 2016, Hillay won the straw poll with 71.6 per cent and Trump was at 24.2 per cent; In 2020, Biden won the poll with 55.4 per cent and Trump was at 41.9 per cent.
