Voters chose five{{cite web|url=https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/electoral-college/votes/1965_1969.html#1972|title=1972 Election for the Forty-Seventh Term (1973-77)|access-date=January 28, 2017}} representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Nebraska was won by incumbent President Richard Nixon (R–California), with 70.5% of the popular vote, against George McGovern (D–South Dakota), with 29.5% of the popular vote.{{cite web|url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?f=0&fips=31&year=1972|title=1972 Presidential General Election Results - Nebraska|access-date=January 28, 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/showelection.php?year=1972|title=The American Presidency Project - Election of 1972|access-date=January 28, 2017}}

In a state that would reflect McGovern's national results,{{cite web|url=http://www.270towin.com/1972_Election/|title=1972 Presidential Election - 270toWin.com|access-date=January 28, 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://dsl.richmond.edu/voting/indelections.php?year=1972|title=1972 Election - Voting America|access-date=January 28, 2017}} the Democratic nominee did not win a single county in Nebraska. Out of Nixon's three campaigns, this was the only one in which Nebraska was not his strongest state, although he did outperform his past two performances here in popular vote percentage. Instead, Nebraska was his seventh strongest state after Mississippi, Georgia, Oklahoma, Alabama, Florida, and South Carolina.
