....in every election (currently just 1912)
This is a work in progress and will probably for now be mostly just the Republicans and Democrats from 1912-Present,but I'll be adding more soon.
Elections Guy I noticed covered all the strongest states,I thought it was time for a contrast,curiously in landslides said narrow state is often in a region near where the strongest for the losing opponent was (Ex: 1932 the narrowest state to FDR was in New England,where Hoover had his narrowest and strongest victories,but FDR's strongest was in the South)
Anyway with that said.
For Dems
1912: Idaho (32.08% Wilson) 1916: New Hampshire (49.12% Wilson) 1920: Kentucky (49.25% Cox) 1924: Oklahoma (48.41% Davis) 1928: Rhode Island (50.16% Smith) -The Catholic vote is what gave this state and MA to the Dems- 1932: New Jersey (49.49% F. Roosevelt) 1936: New Hampshire (49.73% F. Roosevelt) -Not a surprise considering the states next to it (Vermont and Maine) were the sole anti-FDR crusade- 1940: Wisconsin (50.15% F. Roosevelt) 1944: Michigan (50.19% F. Roosevelt) 1948: Ohio (49.48% Truman) 1952: Kentucky (49.91% Stevenson) 1956: Missouri (50.11% Stevenson) -The lone state to switch from Eisenhower to Stevenson 1960: Hawaii (50% Kennedy) 1964: Idaho (50.92% Johnson) 1968: Texas (41.14% Humphrey) -The only Southern state that year,the rest split between Wallace and Nixon- 1972: Massachusetts (54.2% McGovern) -Also the strongest since Nixon won the others- 1976: Ohio (48.92% Carter) 1980: Hawaii (44.8% Carter) 1984: Minnesota (49.72% Mondale) -Just like 1972,except it was the home state this time- 1988: Washington (50.05% Dukakis) 1992: Georgia (43.5% Clinton) 1996: Kentucky (45.8% Clinton) 2000: New Mexico (47.91% Gore) 2004: Wisconsin (49.7% Kerry) 2008: North Carolina (49.7% Obama) 2012: Florida (50% Obama)
For GOP
1912: Vermont -One of two- (37.13% Taft) 1916: Minnesota (46.35% Hughes) 1920: Tennessee (51.29% Harding) 1924: North Dakota (47.68% Coolidge) 1928: New York (49.79% Hoover) -It was the home state for the Democratic candidate- 1932: Connecticut (48.54% Hoover) 1936: Maine (55.49% Landon) -One of two- 1940: Michigan (49.85% Wilkie) 1944: Ohio (50.18% Dewey) -The bellwether was wrong- 1948: Indiana (49.58% Dewey) 1952: Tennessee (50% Eisenhower) 1956: Tennessee (49.21% Eisenhower) 1960: California (50.1% Nixon) -Home state, which was a Democratic state until the absentee ballots came in- 1964: Arizona (50.45% Goldwater) -Home state- 1968: Missouri (44.87% Nixon) 1972: Minnesota (51.58% Nixon) 1976: Oregon (47.78% Ford) 1980: Massachusetts (41.9% Reagan) 1984: Massachusetts (51.22% Reagan) 1988: Illinois (50.69% Bush) 1992: North Carolina (43.4% Bush) 1996: Georgia (47% Dole) 2000: New Hampshire Florida (48.85% Bush) 2004: Iowa (49.9% Bush) 2008: Missouri (49.4% McCain) 2012: North Carolina (50.4% Romney)
