McGovern lost Texas by a slim margin (that is, compared to how he did in Utah).

1972 popular vote in Texas:

Nixon, Republican...............2,298,896
McGovern, Democrat..........1,154,289
Jenness, Socialist Workers..........8,664
Schmitz, American......................6,039
others.........................................3,393

McGovern's share of the vote was about 33% (Nixon was just short of beating him 2 to 1).
