Why did some of the southern states vote for Barry Goldwater?
The campaign for the US Presidency in 1964 was between Democrat President Lyndon Johnson and Republican candidate Senator Barry Goldwater. Although the South had been traditionally a Democrat stronghold for decades after the US Civil War, it also had a large part of the voting population leaning to the conservative side of American politics. To many Southerners, the conservatism of Barry Goldwater seemed more in line with their ideas than did the more liberal President Johnson. So even though Johnson was a Texan, he did not command the full support of some Southern States who voted for the more conservative Goldwater.

No, but that is certainly not viewed by political pundits as anything shocking. It would have been a shock if they had given him their support.They last gave their vote to a Democrat in the 1964 race between Lyndon Johnson and Barry Goldwater. Goldwater was seen as a radical who was "Beyond the Pale" for any moderate Republican. Most saw that race as anything was better then Goldwater, even a Democrat. Ike refused to endorse him or support him. The New York Herald Tribune supported Johnson. Nelson Rockefeller of New York refused his support. George Romney of Michigan refused his support. Reagan and Nixon suppported the Republican Ticket.In the 2008 election, 170,924 votes were cast for Obama and 203,054 votes went to John McCain..
