In the 42 previous presidential elections in which Texas has participated, Democrats have carried the state 27 times. Before the 1980 election, Texas was reliably Democratic except for a handful of contests won by Herbert Hoover (1928), Dwight D. Eisenhower (1952-1956), and Richard Nixon (1972).
Historical data from the Texas Secretary of State showed that the last time the popular vote went to a Democrat was in 1976 when Jimmy Carter beat Gerald Ford by a little more than 100,000 votes. Since Ronald Reagan won Texas in 1980, the Lone Star State has been a stronghold for Republicans.
It's important to note that political parties have changed over time and have not always shared the same ideologies and positions they do today. Republicans and Democrats look very different in the modern era compared to those in the 1860s or 1960s. Explore the data below to see how the Lone Star State has previously voted for president.
The interactive maps below show the county-by-county vote in presidential races since 1992.
