Texas was won by incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt (DNew York), with 87.08% of the popular vote, over Governor Alf Landon (RKansas), with 12.32% of the popular vote, a landslide victory margin of 74.76%.[3][4] Despite the overwhelming Democratic victory here, however, Landon performed better than fellow Republican Herbert Hoover had in 1932, with the state swinging approximately two points towards the GOP, and he managed to flip both Gillespie County and Kendall County back into the Republican column, the latter remaining with the party ever since.

By percentage of the popular vote won, Texas was Roosevelt's fifth-best state, behind South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Georgia.

Notes

  1. This figure differs from either of those in America at the Polls and Géoelections.
  2. This Prohibition Party vote was not included in the county tables for America at the Polls.[5]
  3. This zero vote total for Lemke is assumed given that no additional votes beyond the Géoelections total are required to give his figures as shown in America at the Polls.
  4. The figures for this county are different from those in Géoelections because America at the Polls suggests there must have been five or six fewer Lemke votes than the Géoelections sum.
