Lyndon B. Johnson Democratic Richard Nixon Republican The 1968 United States presidential election in Montana took place on November 5, 1968, and was part of the 1968 United States presidential election.

Montana voted for the Republican nominee, former Vice President Richard Nixon, over the Democratic nominee, Vice President Hubert Humphrey.

Wallace was most successful in the mountain regions, which have a tradition of hostility to Washington D.C. interference, and also to Northeastern big business.

[1] Wallace possessed little appeal in heavily German and Scandinavian Plains regions.

As of the 2024 presidential election[update], this remains the last occasion the Democratic presidential nominee has carried Jefferson County,[2] where Humphrey won a 22-vote plurality.
