In the 1976 United States presidential election, Florida was won by the Democratic candidate, former Governor of Georgia Jimmy Carter, over the Republican candidate, incumbent President Gerald Ford. Carter won by a margin of 5.29 points, giving him 17 electoral votes. Other Southern states also went for Carter, especially his home state of Georgia.

A bellwether state today, Florida has voted for the winner in every election since 1928, except for two elections. (1960, and later, 1992.)
