The 1972 United States presidential election in Georgia took place on November 7, 1972, as part of the 1972 United States presidential election. Georgia voters chose 12 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Georgia was won by incumbent President Richard Nixon (R–California), with 75.04% of the popular vote, against George McGovern (D–South Dakota), with 24.65% of the popular vote. This made Georgia, even amidst a Republican landslide, 26% more Republican than the nation at-large and made it Nixon's second strongest state in the 1972 election.
90% of white voters supported Nixon while 10% supported McGovern.
As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last time the following counties have ever voted Republican: Calhoun, Clay, Fulton (which contains the state's capital and largest city, Atlanta), Macon, Stewart, Talbot, Taliaferro, and Warren as well as the only time Hancock voted Republican. This was the first time any candidate had swept every Georgia county.
