The1952 United States presidential election in Arizona took place on November 4, 1952, as part of the1952 United States presidential election. State voters chose four[3] representatives, or electors, to theElectoral College, who voted forpresident andvice president.
Arizona was won byColumbia University PresidentDwight D. Eisenhower (R–New York), running withCalifornia SenatorRichard Nixon, with 58.35% of the popular vote, againstAdlai Stevenson (D–Illinois), running withAlabama SenatorJohn Sparkman, with 41.65% of the popular vote.[4][5]
With his win in the state, Eisenhower became the first Republican presidential candidate sinceHerbert Hoover in1928 to win the state, or to even carry any counties.
This election would signal the beginning of a long Republican dominance in elections in Arizona; Republicans would go on to carry the state in every single presidential election except1996 and2020, and would maintain control of at least one of the state's Senate seats until the latter election.
