The1952 United States presidential election in Wyoming took place on November 4, 1952, as part of the1952 United States presidential election. State voters chose three representatives, or electors, to theElectoral College, who voted forpresident andvice president.[3]
Wyoming was won by theRepublican candidate,Columbia University PresidentDwight D. Eisenhower fromNew York, running withCaliforniaSenatorRichard Nixon, with 62.71 percent of the popular vote, against theDemocratic candidate,Adlai Stevenson fromIllinois, running withAlabamaSenatorJohn Sparkman, with 38.93 percent of the popular vote, a margin of victory of 25.6%. Eisenhower was able to easily carry the state despite the fact that it had voted forHarry Truman4 years earlier in 1948, with the state trending to the right by almost 30 points in this election. Wyoming weighed in as 14.7% more Republican than the rest of the nation.
Stevenson only won one county, with that being the heavily unionizedSweetwater, which no Republican had won sinceWarren Harding in1920. With the Republican victory in this race and the next two consecutive elections, Wyoming would begin its transition into a Republican stronghold, only voting for the Democratic presidential nominee one more time, in1964. In fact, since 1964, Democrats haven't even managed to crack 40% of the statewide vote in an election.[4]
