Facial Hair and Presidential elections

Only five US presidents have sported full beards, and another four had moustaches of varying degrees of glory. These were all during the half century run of the dozen Presidents between Lincoln and Taft, of whom only Andrew Johnson and McKinley were clean-shaven.

  • 39 elections where all the major candidates were cleanshaven
  • 3 elections where a cleanshaven candidate beat candidate(s) with moustache(s)
  • 2 elections where a cleanshaven candidate beat a candidate with a beard
  • 2 elections where a candidate with a moustache beat a candidate with a beard

Who’s was the last president with facial hair?

Taft
