Illinois was won by incumbent President Lyndon B. Johnson (D–Texas), with 59.47% of the popular vote, against Senator Barry Goldwater (R–Arizona), with 40.53% of the popular vote.[3][4] As of the 2020 presidential election[update], this is the last election in which Adams County, DeWitt County, Effingham County, Logan County, Menard County, Morgan County, Scott County, Wabash County, and Wayne County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.[5]
This would be the last time until 1992 that Illinois would vote for a Democrat in a presidential election. McLean County would not vote Democratic again until 2008.
