The 1964 United States presidential election in Nebraska took place on November 3, 1964, as part of the 1964 United States presidential election. Nebraska voters chose five representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.
Nebraska was won by incumbent President Lyndon B. Johnson (D–Texas), with 52.61% of the popular vote, against Senator Barry Goldwater (R–Arizona), with 47.39% of the popular vote.
The Cornhusker State was President Johnson's weakest in the Great Plains region, and one of two where he did not win every congressional district, the other being Oklahoma. Senator Goldwater carried the state's 3rd district which encompassed the western half of the state, while Johnson carried the 1st and 2nd in the eastern half. Johnson carried 38 counties to Goldwater's 55. Nebraska weighed in as 17.36% more Republican than the national average.
As of 2017, this is the last time the Democratic candidate won Nebraska. Barack Obama would later win the state's 2nd congressional district in 2008 and received one electoral vote.
