Douglas was hurt worse in 1860 by the divisions in the Democratic Party, though, which saw southern Democrats nominate and run John C. Breckenridge, and a breakaway faction nominate and run John Bell. So the Democrats divided their vote three ways in 1860, and Lincoln "won" with less than 40% of the popular vote.
