In the 1976 United States presidential campaign, the group that notably did not support Jimmy Carter was the conservative wing of the Democratic Party. Many conservative Democrats, sometimes referred to as "Dixiecrats," were uncomfortable with Carter's more moderate stances on certain issues, such as civil rights. Additionally, many business interests and higher-income voters who traditionally might have leaned Democratic did not support Carter due to his populist themes and stance on economic issues.
