Shares are of the state’s total vote for president. Margin is the leader’s lead over the second-placed candidate. “Others named” lists every other candidate the figures give a line of their own.

Notes on the figures

2024 'Other candidates' includes 4,844 blank, void, over- or under-vote or 'none of these candidates' ballots, which the source reports as lines of their own.
2016 The source reports 9,618 write-in votes on one line with no candidate name, so the people they went to cannot be shown separately; they are counted in 'Other candidates'.
1972 The official table notes: Scattering 142 is printed slightly above New Hampshire's line; New Hampshire's printed total 334,055 includes it.
1968 The official table notes: Others 421: footnote 3, 'New Party.'
