[[Iowa]] was won by [[incumbent]] President [[Gerald Ford]] ([[Republican Party (United States)|R]]–[[Michigan]]). with 49.47% of the popular vote, against [[Jimmy Carter]] ([[Democratic Party (United States)|D]]–[[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]]), with 48.46% of the popular vote. This race was one of the tightest in the nation, with the two men being separated by just 1.01% of the vote and a mere thirteen thousand votes. None of the third-party candidates amounted to a significant portion of the vote, but [[Eugene McCarthy]] ([[Independent politician|I]]–[[Minnesota]]) won 1.57% of the popular vote and came third overall in the nation.
[[Iowa]] was won by [[incumbent]] President [[Gerald Ford]] ([[Republican Party (United States)|R]]–[[Michigan]]). with 49.47 percent of the popular vote, against [[Jimmy Carter]] ([[Democratic Party (United States)|D]]–[[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]]), with 48.46 percent, making Iowa about 3% more Republican than the nation-at-large. This race was one of the tightest in the nation, with the two candidates being separated by just 1.01 percent and a mere thirteen thousand votes. None of the third-party candidates amounted to a significant portion of the vote, but [[Eugene McCarthy]] (NBP–[[Minnesota]]) won 1.57 percent of the popular vote and came third overall in the nation.


Despite losing in Iowa, Carter went on to win the national election and became the [[Presidency of Jimmy Carter|39th president of the United States]].<ref>http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/index.html</ref> {{As of|2016|11|alt=As of the [[United States presidential election, 2016|2016 presidential election]]}}, this is the last time a Democrat won the presidency without Iowa
Despite losing in Iowa, Carter went on to win the national election and became the [[Presidency of Jimmy Carter|39th president of the United States]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/national.php?year=1976&minper=0&f=0&off=0&elect=0|title=1976 Presidential General Election Results|publisher=Dave Leip’s U.S. Election Atlas}}</ref> This was the last time until [[2020 United States presidential election in Iowa|2020]] that a Democrat was elected President without carrying the state of Iowa.

This is the third most recent election in which Iowa voted for a different candidate than [[1976 United States presidential election in Wisconsin|Wisconsin]], and the first election since [[1940 United States presidential election|1940]], a phenomenon that has only been repeated twice since, in [[2004 United States presidential election in Iowa|2004]], and [[2020 United States presidential election in Iowa|2020]].

The 1976 United States presidential election in Iowa took place on November 2, 1976, as part of the 1976 United States presidential election. Voters chose eight representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Iowa was won by incumbent President Gerald Ford (R–Michigan). with 49.47 percent of the popular vote, against Jimmy Carter (D–Georgia), with 48.46 percent, making Iowa about 3% more Republican than the nation-at-large. This race was one of the tightest in the nation, with the two candidates being separated by just 1.01 percent and a mere thirteen thousand votes. None of the third-party candidates amounted to a significant portion of the vote, but Eugene McCarthy (NBP–Minnesota) won 1.57 percent of the popular vote and came third overall in the nation.

Despite losing in Iowa, Carter went on to win the national election and became the 39th president of the United States.[1] This was the last time until 2020 that a Democrat was elected President without carrying the state of Iowa.

This is the third most recent election in which Iowa voted for a different candidate than Wisconsin, and the first election since 1940, a phenomenon that has only been repeated twice since, in 2004, and 2020.
