List of United States presidential elections by popular vote margin
- List of United States presidential elections by popular vote margin
The table below is a list of United States presidential elections by popular vote margin. The table can be sorted to display United States Presidents by their presidential term, year of election, name, margin by percentage in popular vote, popular vote, margin in popular vote by number, and the runner up in the electoral college.
Since the United States does not hold national elections, the national popular vote is not significant in determining the outcome of the United States presidential election. United States Presidents are elected through the Electoral College. All votes are cast in 50 state-wide elections (as well as the election in the District of Columbia) for that state's delegates to vote in the electoral college for one party's candidate.
The national popular vote is the sum of all votes cast in every state election (and DC). So it is not one single election, but rather the added results of 51 separate state-wide elections.

*No popular votes tabulated prior to 1824 election. Thus the first nine elections are excluded from this table.
