The only subsequent Democratic nominees to carry the state have been from the South (Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, Jimmy Carter of Georgia, and Bill Clinton of neighboring Arkansas)--although Northern Democrat Barack Obama of neighboring Illinois came very close to winning it in 2008, losing it by a razor-thin margin of 0.13 points or fewer than 4,000 votes. While Nixon made gains in the evangelical South of the state, where Kennedy's Catholicism was unpopular, Kennedy made up for it with gains in the suburban regions outside of St Louis. A 101,000-vote margin in Kennedy's favor in St. Louis was nearly 10 times Kennedy's statewide margin. Results 1960 United States presidential election in Missouri John F.
