About the 1932 presidential election

By November 1932 unemployment had reached about a quarter of the workforce, thousands of banks had failed and farm prices had collapsed. Hoover's response was widely seen as inadequate, and the Army's removal of the Bonus Army of veterans from Washington that summer added to his unpopularity. Democrats nominated Franklin D. Roosevelt, the governor of New York, who promised "a new deal for the American people." Roosevelt won 472 electoral votes to Hoover's 59 and flipped 34 states that had voted Republican in 1928, including the whole Midwest, the mountain West, California, New York and the Southern states Hoover had won four years earlier. Hoover held only six states, all in the Northeast: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Vermont. Several of them were close, with Hoover taking Connecticut by 1.1 points, New Hampshire by 1.4 and Delaware by 2.4. Roosevelt won New Jersey by 1.9 and Ohio by 2.9. Democrats also won large majorities in both houses of Congress. The election ended the long Republican era that began in 1896 and started a Democratic one that would last, with few breaks, for two decades.

Margin: the Democrat's share of all votes minus the Republican's. Margins are Democrat minus Republican, of all votes. Certified results, from the states' own archives, the MIT Election Data and Science Lab, Heideman (2026) and Algara & Amlani (2021). Maine and Nebraska are shown whole, without their district votes. By county: "As they were" draws each county as it stood on election day; "Today's" shares the old votes among today's counties by area.
