The 2016 United States presidential election in Kansas was held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 United States presidential election in which all 50 states and the District of Columbia participated. Kansas voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote, pitting the Republican Party 's nominee, businessman Donald Trump , and running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton , and her running mate Virginia Senator Tim Kaine . Kansas has six electoral votes in the Electoral College.[2]
Trump carried the state with 56.16 percent of the vote, while Clinton received 35.74 percent.[3] Kansas was among eleven states (and the District of Columbia) in which Clinton improved on Barack Obama 's margin from 2012 (though her vote share was lower than Obama's 38 percent), largely due to a significant shift towards Democrats in Johnson County .[4] [5]
This was the final election of Riley County 's 104-year streak of voting Republican, as in the next election Joe Biden would become the first Democrat to win the county in its history.

General election
Voting history
Kansas has given its electoral votes to the Republican ticket since 1968 , and only once to the Democrats (1964 ) since 1940 . At the time, all current statewide officials were Republicans, as were all four members of the state's U.S. House delegation. Mitt Romney defeated Barack Obama by a margin of 60 percent to 38 percent in 2012 . A poll conducted by John Zogby found Clinton leading Trump by 7 points in June. In addition, an internal poll for Representative Kevin Yoder , a Republican from Kansas' 3rd congressional district, released an internal poll showing Clinton leading Trump by 6 points in his district. This district voted for Mitt Romney by a 10-point margin in 2012 and has a Cook Partisan Voting Index of R+6. This result, coupled with Clinton's gains in national polls, caused Sabato's Crystal Ball to move the Kansas race from "Safe Republican" to "Likely Republican" on August 18.[6]
