1960 United States presidential election in Michigan

The 1960 United States presidential election in Michigan took place on November 8, 1960, as part of the 1960 United States presidential election. Voters chose 20 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

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.
