The 2012 United States presidential election in Montana took place on November 6, 2012 as part of the 2012 General Election in which all 50 states plus The District of Columbia participated. Montana voters chose three electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting incumbent Democratic President Barack Obama and his running mate, Vice President Joe Biden, against Republican challenger and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and his running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan.
Romney carried Montana with 55.35% of the vote to Obama's 41.70%, with a 13.64% margin of victory. Montana was the best state performance for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, carrying 3% of the vote, and only 1% in the general election.
