Wikipedia includes a breakdown by state so you can see by what percentage Wilson won in each state at the time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1912_United_States_presidential_election https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1912_United_States_presidentia.... He didn't have the majority in most states he won and didn't even have the majority of the popular vote overall. His lowest winning percentage was 32.08% in Idaho. Beating out Taft by a bit over 1%, Taft had 31.02% of the vote. His margin against Taft was not substantial in many of the states where he didn't have the majority, so depending on who Roosevelt took votes from (likely more Taft voters than Wilson voters) the election could have been substantially different.
