Iowa was won by Governor Franklin D.

[3] [4] This is the only occasion since the Civil War when Cass County and Page County have voted for a Democratic Presidential candidate. [5] [6]

As a result of his win, Roosevelt became the first Democratic presidential candidate since Woodrow Wilson in 1912 to win Iowa and the first since Franklin Pierce in 1852 to win the state with a majority of the popular vote (Wilson had won Iowa in 1912, but only with a plurality).

The 1932 United States presidential election was the 37th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 8, 1932. The election took place against the backdrop of the Great Depression. The incumbent Republican President Herbert Hoover was defeated in a landslide by Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt, the governor of New York and the vice presidential nominee of the 1920 presidential election. Roosevelt was the first Democrat in 80 years to simultaneously win an outright majority of the electoral college and popular vote, a feat last accomplished by Franklin Pierce in 1852, as well as the first Democrat in 56 years to win a majority of the popular vote, which was last done by Samuel J. Tilden in 1876. Roosevelt was the last sitting governor to be elected president until Bill Clinton in 1992. Hoover became the first incumbent president to lose an election to another term since William Howard Taft in 1912, and the last to do so until Gerald Ford lost 44 years later. The election marked the effective end of the Fourth Party System, which had been dominated by Republicans. It was the first time since 1916 that a Democrat was elected president.
