This page contains four lists of third-party and independent performances in United States presidential elections:
- National results for third-party or independent presidential candidates that won above 5% of the popular vote (1788–present)
- National results for third-party or independent presidential candidates that won between 1% and 5% of the popular vote (1788–present)
- State results where a third-party or independent presidential candidate won above 5% of the popular vote (1832–present)
- State results where a major-party candidate received above 1% of the state popular vote from a third party cross-endorsement (1896–present)
It is rare for candidates, other than those of the six parties which have succeeded as major parties (Federalist Party, Democratic-Republican Party, National Republican Party, Democratic Party, Whig Party, Republican Party), to take large shares of the vote in elections.
As of 2023[update], 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.[1]
National results
Above 5% (1788–present)

Cross-endorsement major candidates (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.[25] 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.[26][page needed]
