The 1960 United States presidential election in Missouri took place on November 8, 1960, as part of the 1960 United States presidential election . Voters chose 13[2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College , who voted for president and vice president .
In the nation's third-closest race , Missouri was won by Senator John F. Kennedy (D –Massachusetts ), running with Senator Lyndon B. Johnson , with 50.26 percent of the popular vote against incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon (R –California ), running with United States Ambassador to the United Nations Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. , with 49.74 percent of the popular vote.[3] [4] As of the 2020 presidential election [update] , this is the last election in which Osage County voted for a Democratic Presidential candidate.[5] It also remains the most recent election in which a Northern Democrat has carried Missouri. The only subsequent Democratic nominees to carry the state have been from the South (Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas , Jimmy Carter of Georgia , and Bill Clinton of neighboring Arkansas )--although Northern Democrat Barack Obama of neighboring Illinois came very close to winning it in 2008 , losing it by a razor-thin margin of 0.13 points or fewer than 4,000 votes.
A 101,000-vote margin in Kennedy's favor in St. Louis was nearly 10 times Kennedy's statewide margin.
