New Mexico was won by President Lyndon B. Johnson in a 19-point landslide. Johnson had won after serving as President for one year following the Assassination of John F. Kennedy. Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater lost most of the United States in this election, except for his home state and portions of the American South. Goldwater won only three counties: the Plains counties of Union and Harding, which have never voted Democratic since 1948, and Lincoln County, which has never voted Democratic since 1936. Even in these, Goldwater won only narrowly: his highest proportion of the vote was only 52.55 percent in Lincoln County. Four other normally reliably Republican counties – San Juan, Curry, Chaves and Catron – were narrowly won by Johnson and have never voted for a Democrat since. This is also the last time the southeastern counties of Roosevelt, Otero and Lea have voted Democratic and Los Alamos County did not vote Democratic again until 2008.
