Reading the 1964 result in Indiana

Indiana backed Johnson (Democratic) in the 1964 presidential election, casting 13 electoral votes for the ticket. That placed Indiana with the eventual winner: Lyndon B. Johnson went on to take the presidency, and Indiana was part of his column.

The result flipped Indiana away from the Republican ticket it had backed in each of the previous 6 cycles. Indiana did not move alone — neighboring Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, and Michigan broke the same way in 1964. Over its 53 recorded presidential cycles, Indiana has backed the Republican party more than any other — 32 times in all. The vote fell within the New Deal Coalition — FDR, civil rights, and the long Democratic majority.

Nationally, Lyndon B. Johnson finished with 486 of the 538 electoral votes to Barry Goldwater's 52. Lyndon B. Johnson led the national popular vote with 61.05% of the ballots cast.
