Ford's polling rebounded after a strong performance in the first presidential debate, and the race was close on election day. </p><p>Carter won a majority of the popular and electoral votes. He was able to carry several Midwestern and Northeastern swing states, as well as all the Southern states except for Oklahoma and Virginia. Ford dominated the Western states. Carter's victory at the polls was due in part to the backlash against the Watergate scandal that still was deeply hurting Republican candidates, and with Carter's rhetoric of honesty and compassion resonating with many of those voters who felt distrustful of politics post-Watergate. Ford also suffered from the popular lampooning of him as a stumbling boob by <a href="/wiki/Chevy_Chase" title="Chevy Chase">Chevy Chase</a> on <i><a href="/wiki/Saturday_Night_Live" title="Saturday Night Live">Saturday Night Live</a></i> despite the fact that he had been an <a href="/wiki/All-America" title="All-America">All-American</a> football player at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Michigan" title="University of Michigan">University of Michigan</a>.

This is the only election in which California voted Republican while Ohio voted Democrat, the last time West Virginia went Democratic by more than 15 points, as well as this, and 1988 being the only

When the primaries began, Carter was little-known at the national level, and many political pundits regarded a number of better-known candidates, such as Senator <a href="/wiki/Henry_M._Jackson" title="Henry M. Jackson">Henry M. Jackson</a> from Washington, Representative <a href="/wiki/Morris_Udall" class="mw-redirect" title="Morris Udall">Morris Udall</a> from Arizona, Governor <a href="/wiki/George_Wallace" title="George Wallace">George Wallace</a> of Alabama, and California Governor <a href="/wiki/Jerry_Brown" title="Jerry Brown">Jerry Brown</a>, as the favorites for the nomination. However, in the wake of the <a href="/wiki/Watergate_scandal" title="Watergate scandal">Watergate scandal</a>, Carter realized that his status as a Washington outsider, political centrist, and moderate reformer could give him an advantage over his better-known establishment rivals. Carter also took advantage of the record number of state primaries and caucuses in 1976, to eliminate his better-known rivals one-by-one. </p><p>Henry M. Jackson made a fateful decision not to compete in the early Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary, which Jimmy Carter won after liberals split their votes among four other candidates. Though Jackson went on to win the Massachusetts and New York primaries, he was forced to quit the race on May 1, after losing the critical Pennsylvania primary to Carter by twelve percentage points. Carter then defeated Governor Wallace, his main conservative challenger, by a wide margin in the North Carolina primary, thus forcing Wallace to end his campaign. Representative Udall, a liberal, then became Carter's main challenger. He finished second to Carter in the New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, New York, Michigan, South Dakota, and Ohio primaries, and won the caucuses in his home state of Arizona, while running even with Carter in the New Mexico caucuses. However, the fact that Udall finished second to Carter in most of these races meant that Carter steadily accumulated more delegates for the nomination than he did. </p><p>As Carter closed in on the nomination, an "ABC" ("Anybody But Carter") movement started among Northern and Western liberal Democrats who worried that Carter's Southern upbringing would make him too conservative for the Democratic Party. The leaders of the "ABC" movement, Idaho Senator <a href="/wiki/Frank_Church" title="Frank Church">Frank Church</a> and California Governor Jerry Brown, both announced their candidacies for the Democratic nomination, and defeated Carter in several late primaries. However, their campaigns started too late to prevent Carter from gathering the remaining delegates he needed to capture the nomination. </p><p>By June 1976, Carter had captured more than enough delegates to win the Democratic nomination. At the <a href="/wiki/1976_Democratic_National_Convention" title="1976 Democratic National Convention">1976 Democratic National Convention</a>, Carter easily won the nomination on the first ballot; Udall finished in second place. Carter then chose Minnesota Senator Walter Mondale, a liberal, as his running mate. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Republican_Party">Republican Party</h3><span

Seconds later, <a href="/wiki/ABC_News_(United_States)" title="ABC News (United States)">ABC News</a> also declared Carter the winner, based on projections for Carter in Wisconsin and Hawaii, while <a href="/wiki/CBS_News" title="CBS News">CBS News</a> announced Carter's victory at 3:45 am.<sup id="cite_ref-49" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-49"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>48<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Carter defeated Ford by two percentage points in the national popular vote. </p><p>The electoral vote was the closest since <a href="/wiki/1916_United_States_Presidential_Election" class="mw-redirect" title="1916 United States Presidential Election">1916</a>; Carter carried 23 states, with 297 electoral votes, while Ford won 27 states, with 240 electoral votes (one elector, future state Senator <a href="/wiki/Mike_Padden" title="Mike Padden">Mike Padden</a> from Washington state, pledged to Ford, voted for Reagan<sup id="cite_ref-faithlesspadden_50-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-faithlesspadden-50"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>49<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>). Carter's victory came primarily from his near-sweep of the South (he lost only Virginia and Oklahoma), and his narrow victories in large Northern states such as New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Ford did well in the West, carrying every state in that region, except for Hawaii. The most tightly contested state in the election was Oregon, which Ford won by under 2,000 votes. </p><p>By percentage of the vote, the states that secured Carter's victory were Wisconsin (1.68% margin) and Ohio (.27% margin). Had Ford won these states and all other states he carried, he would have won the presidency. The 27 states he won were, and still are, the most states ever carried by a losing candidate for president. Had Ford won the election, the provisions of the <a href="/wiki/Twenty-second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution" title="Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution">22nd Amendment</a> would have disqualified him from running in <a href="/wiki/1980_United_States_presidential_election" title="1980 United States presidential election">1980</a>, as he served more than two years of Nixon's second term. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Records">Records</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1976_United_States_presidential_election&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Records"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Carter was the first Democratic presidential nominee since <a href="/wiki/John_F._Kennedy" title="John F.
