List of third party performances in United States presidential elections

See also: List of third party performances in United States elections

This page contains lists of (a) notable third party presidential candidates (1788–present); (b) other third party presidential candidates (1788–present): (c) notable third-party presidential performances by state (1832–present); and (d) notable third party cross-endorsement presidential performances by state (1896–present).

Since the 1850s, the two largest U.S. political parties have been the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.^{[1][page needed]} It is rare for third party and independent candidates to win large shares of the vote in presidential elections. As of 2023, the last third party presidential candidate to win an electoral vote was George Wallace of the American Independent Party, who won five states in 1968.^[2]

Notable third party cross-endorsement presidential performances by state (1896–present)

This list includes the statewide performance of each major party candidate who ran on the ballot line of a political party other than their own, either through electoral fusion or for other reasons. This list does not include cases where a third party shares the same ballot line as a major party. The vote totals and percentages listed are those each candidate received under a particular third-party label.

Electoral fusion was once widespread in the United States.^[26] As of 2022, electoral fusion as conventionally understood by historians and political scientists is fully legal in only two states: Connecticut and New York. It is partially legal in three others; Pennsylvania and Maryland permit fusion in certain elections (including judicial elections), and California allows fusion in presidential elections only.^{[27][page needed]}
