Here’s link to election results by state in 1860.

By my count, Lincoln won absolute majorities in CT, IL, IN, IA, ME, MA, MI, MN, NH, NY, OH, PA, RI, VT, and WI. In some of them it was pretty close, though. This gave him 169 electoral votes.

Since 152 EC votes were needed, Lincoln won even if all his opponents had joined behind a single candidate.
