The 1932 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania took place on November 8, 1932 as part of the 1932 United States presidential election. Voters chose 36 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Pennsylvania voted for the Republican nominee, President Herbert Hoover, over the Democratic nominee, New York Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt. Hoover won Pennsylvania by a margin of 5.51%. With 50.84% of the popular vote, Pennsylvania would be Hoover's third strongest state in the nation after Vermont and Maine. [1]
Pennsylvania was one of only six states – along with Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont – which voted to re-elect the embattled Hoover, who was widely unpopular over his failure to adequately address the Great Depression.
This is the last election where the Republican candidate carried Philadelphia County, then still controlled by a Republican political machine, in a presidential election. [2] This was the last time that Luzerne County voted for the statewide loser until 2020.
1932 was the third most recent election in which Pennsylvania did not vote the same as neighboring New York, [3] a phenomenon that has only been repeated twice since in 1988 and 2016. It is also the third most recent election where Pennsylvania voted for a different candidate than Michigan, another phenomenon that has only been repeated twice since (in 1940 and 1976). This was the last time that the state would vote Republican while neighboring New Jersey voted Democratic until 2016.
