The race was between Republican Richard Nixon, Democrat Hubert Humprhey, and Independent George Wallace. Nixon won with 32 states (301 electoral votes) ahead of Humprehy's 13 states plus Washington DC (191 electoral votes), and Wallace's 5 states (46 electoral votes).

The Vietnam War was a big factor. President Johnson became very unpopular with people of draft age and was challenged so severely for the nomination that he withdrew, leaving the field to Robert Kennedy. Kennedy's assassination left the Democrats in relative disarray .
