United States presidential elections in New Mexico

Since New Mexico's admission to the Union in January 1912,[1] it has participated in 28 United States presidential elections. In the 1912 presidential election, Theodore Roosevelt, the Progressive Party's nominee, received the highest vote share (17.1%) ever won by a third-party candidate in New Mexico.[2] In the 1932 presidential election, Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt won New Mexico, defeating Republican Herbert Hoover by 26.96%,[3] which remains the largest ever margin of victory in the state's history. In the 2000 presidential election, Democrat Al Gore won New Mexico, defeating Republican George W. Bush by a margin of just 0.06% (366 votes).[4]

Up to the 2016 presidential election, New Mexico has been a leading indicator of election trends with a success rate of 88.9%;[5] the winner in New Mexico has won the presidency 25 out of 28 times, except in the 1976, 2000, and 2016 presidential elections.[6] As the Electoral College winner lost the popular vote in both 2000 and 2016, New Mexico has aligned with the national popular vote in every election since 1980.

New Mexico is a signatory of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, an interstate compact in which signatories award all of their electoral votes to the winner of the national-level popular vote in a presidential election, even if another candidate won an individual signatory's popular vote. As of 2021, it has not yet gone into force.[7]
