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

  1. 2024 The candidate figures add up to 8,380,555 votes, but the source gives a total of 8,381,429 (-874). Percentages here use the source's total.

  3. 2020 The MIT Election Lab file gives Joe Biden 5,230,985 votes; the FEC's official results give 5,244,886. This site shows the FEC figure.
  4. 2020 The state total (8,616,861) is the FEC's official total; the MIT file's total is 8,661,735. 'Other candidates' is that total minus the figures shown.
  5. 2016 'Other candidates' includes 77,179 blank, void, over- or under-vote or 'none of these candidates' ballots, which the source reports as lines of their own.
  6. 2012 The MIT Election Lab file gives Barack Obama 4,471,871 votes; the FEC's official results give 4,485,741. This site shows the FEC figure.
  7. 2012 The state total (7,081,159) is the FEC's official total; the MIT file's total is 7,116,784. 'Other candidates' is that total minus the figures shown.
  8. 2008 'Other candidates' includes 84,701 blank, void, over- or under-vote or 'none of these candidates' ballots, which the source reports as lines of their own.
  9. 2004 'Other candidates' includes 57,230 blank, void, over- or under-vote or 'none of these candidates' ballots, which the source reports as lines of their own.

  12. 1992 'Other candidates' includes 152,951 blank, void, over- or under-vote or 'none of these candidates' ballots, which the source reports as lines of their own.
  13. 1972 The Conservative Party of New York ran the Nixon electors on its own line (ballot fact, not printed in the table).
  14. 1972 New York's Others figure carries footnote 6, 'Liberal Party'; the Liberal Party ran the McGovern electors on its line (ballot fact, not printed in the table).
  15. 1972 George McGovern's figure is the sum of the lines the official table prints separately (Democrat 2,767,956; Liberal 183,128).
  16. 1972 Richard Nixon's figure is the sum of the lines the official table prints separately (Republican 3,824,642; Conservative 368,136).
  17. 1972 The official table notes: Others 183,128: footnote 6, 'Liberal Party.' Conservative 368,136.
  18. 1968 Wallace's electors appeared on the New York ballot as the Courage Party. Humphrey also had 311,622 votes on the Liberal Party line, counted here under other candidates.
  19. 1968 New York's Others figure carries footnote 9, 'Courage Party': Wallace's electors ran in New York under that label.
  20. 1968 Hubert Humphrey's figure is the sum of the lines the official table prints separately (Democrat 3,066,848; Liberal 311,622).

  22. 1964 Lyndon B. Johnson's figure is the sum of the lines the official table prints separately (Democrat 4,570,724; Liberal 342,432).
  23. 1964 The official table notes: The Liberal column has a figure only for New York, 342,432; the Liberal electors were Johnson's, so the column carries candidate Johnson.
  24. 1960 The official table prints a state total of 7,380,075, which does not agree with its own figures (they add up to 7,291,079); their sum is used.
  25. 1960 The official table notes: Democrat figure marked footnote 5: 'Includes 406,176 vote for Liberal Party.'
  26. 1956 Adlai Stevenson II's figure is the sum of the lines the official table prints separately (Democrat 2,458,212; Liberal 292,557).
  27. 1956 The official table notes: Scattering includes 1,027 write-in votes for T. Coleman Andrews, 492 write-in votes for Thomas Werdel, 150 write-in votes for Eric Hass, 82 write-in votes for Darlington Hoopes, and 476 miscellaneous; there was no breakdown from Westchester County, all scattering votes from that county are carried as miscellaneous (footnote 10). Liberal column 292,557 is the Liberal Party line for Stevenson.
  28. 1952 The official table notes: Stevenson figure includes 416,711 Liberal Party votes (footnote 14). Hass was the Industrial Government Party candidate in New York (footnote 1). Others: scattering (footnote 8).
  29. 1948 Truman's figure includes 222,562 votes on the Liberal Party line.
  30. 1948 The official table notes: Truman figure includes 222,562 Liberal Party votes (footnote 7); the table gives no separate Liberal figure. Others: blanks, void, and scattering (footnote 8). Teichert ran as the Industrial Government Party candidate (footnote 1). Wallace's figure is printed in the Wallace (Progressive) column; the table does not name the line.
  31. 1944 The official table notes: Roosevelt figure includes 496,405 American Labor Party votes and 329,235 Liberal Party votes (footnote 10); the table gives one figure for Roosevelt and does not print the lines as separate columns. Teichert ran as the Industrial Government Party candidate (footnote 1).
  32. 1940 Franklin D. Roosevelt's figure is the sum of the lines the official table prints separately (Roosevelt (Democrat) 2,834,500; American Labor 417,418).
  33. 1940 The official table notes: Roosevelt's printed figure, 3,251,918, carries footnote 1: 'Includes 417,418 American Labor.' This file stores the Democratic line as 2,834,500 (3,251,918 minus 417,418) and the American Labor line as 417,418 under key ALP; both are Roosevelt's.
  34. 1936 Franklin D. Roosevelt's figure is the sum of the lines the official table prints separately (Roosevelt (Democrat) 3,018,298; American Labor 274,924).
  35. 1936 The official table notes: The Other figure, 274,924, is marked with footnote 2: 'American Labor Party.' The American Labor Party's electors were Roosevelt's, so it is stored here in its own column ALP with candidate Roosevelt.
  36. 1932 The official table notes: Scattering figure 65,084 carries footnote 4: 'Void and scattering.' New York's printed Total therefore includes void ballots.
  37. 1928 The official table notes: Footnote 14: 'Void and scattering, 60,446, included in grand total.'
