The 1964 United States presidential election in Kansas took place on November 3, 1964, as part of the 1964 United States presidential election. Voters chose seven[2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Kansas was won by incumbent President Lyndon B. Johnson (D–Texas), with 54.09 percent of the popular vote, against Senator Barry Goldwater (R–Arizona), with 45.06 percent of the popular vote.[3][4]
As of the 2020 presidential election[update], this is the last time the Democratic candidate won Kansas, as well as the following counties: Allen, Barber, Barton, Bourbon, Clark, Comanche, Cowley, Ellsworth, Franklin, Geary, Gove, Grant, Harvey, Haskell, Kearny, Lane, Lyon, McPherson, Montgomery, Morton, Nemaha, Neosho, Osage, Ottawa, Pratt, Russell, Saline, Sedgwick, Sheridan, Sherman, Stanton, Stevens, Thomas and Trego.[5]
To date Johnson’s 54.09 percent remains the best Democratic presidential performance in Kansas history, although the margin is smaller than Franklin Roosevelt's win in 1932.
