The 1964 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania took place on November 3, 1964 throughout all 50 states and D.C., which was part of the 1964 United States presidential election. Voters chose 29 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.

Pennsylvania overwhelmingly voted for the Democratic nominee, President Lyndon B. Johnson, over the Republican nominee, Senator Barry Goldwater. Johnson won Pennsylvania by a margin of 30.22 percent. Apart from William Howard Taft in 1912 and George Bush senior in 1992 when third-party candidates obtained substantial minorities of the vote, Goldwater’s is easily the worst showing for a Republican in the state since that party was founded. Even relative to Johnson’s popular vote landslide, Pennsylvania came out as 7.64 percent more Democratic than the nation at-large; the only occasion under the current two-party system that the state has been more anomalously Democratic than this was in Ronald Reagan’s 1984 Republican landslide when Pennsylvania came out about 10 percent more Democratic than the US at-large.
