The following is a list of major party U.S. presidential candidates who lost their birth or resident states. While many successful candidates have won the presidency without winning their birth state, only three (James Knox Polk, Woodrow Wilson and Richard Nixon) have won election despite losing their state of residence. Polk is the only man to win the presidency but lose both states of birth and residence.
