After 1948, the state would shift strongly toward the Republican Party, only backing the Democratic presidential nominee once more, during Lyndon B. Johnson's 1964 landslide, and in many election cycles afterward being the most Republican state in the nation. As of 2024 this is also the last time that Utah voted more Democratic than Illinois.
