Michigan was won by Senator John F. Kennedy (D–Massachusetts), running with Senator Lyndon B. Johnson, with 50.85% of the popular vote against incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon (R–California), running with former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., with 48.84% of the popular vote. Michigan weighed in for this election as almost 2% more Democratic than the nation-at-large. Kennedy's victory was the first of three consecutive Democratic victories in the state, as Michigan would not vote Republican again until Nixon won the state in his re-election bid in 1972.
