Though he failed to win the state, Truman's performance in Nebraska was the best for a Democrat since Franklin Roosevelt's victory in 1936, and would remain the best until Lyndon B. Johnson's narrow victory in 1964. This was the only election between 1900 and 1992 in which Nebraska voted differently than neighboring Colorado.
