The 2008 United States presidential election in Indiana took place on November 4, 2008, and was part of the 2008 United States presidential election. Voters chose 11 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Indiana was won by Democratic nominee Barack Obama by 28,391 votes, a 1.03% margin of victory. Prior to the election, major news organizations considered the state as leaning toward Republican nominee John McCain or as a toss-up. On election day, Obama narrowly carried Indiana, which marked the first time a Democratic presidential nominee won Indiana since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last time that the Democratic nominee carried Indiana, as well as the last time in which they carried Madison County, Spencer County, Starke County, Vanderburgh County, and Vermillion County, and the last time the state was decided by a single digit margin. Obama's 1,374,039 votes is the most received by a Democratic presidential candidate in the state's history. This is also the last time the state voted to the left of Missouri, North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona. It is also the only time since 1916 in which it didn't vote for the same candidate as each of the High Plains states (Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota).
