Election results are refreshed automatically every 30 seconds after polls close at 8:00 p.m. ET. There is no need to refresh the page to see the latest data.

Why the state is significant:

  • Missourians had a nearly perfect record of predicting the general election winner from 1904 to 2004, getting it wrong just once -- in 1956 -- when they backed Adlai Stevenson over Dwight Eisenhower.
  • Despite voting Republican in the last four presidential elections since 2000, the Bellwether State is considered a general election swing state.
  • Fast facts:

  • In 2008, John McCain defeated Barack Obama by a razor-thin margin, 49.4 percent to 49.3 percent in Missouri.
  • In 2012, voter turnout in the Republican primary decreased more than 50 percent, slumping from 588,000 in 2008 to 252,000 four years ago.
