Elections in Oregon |

The 1932 United States presidential election in Oregon took place on November 8, 1932, as part of the 1932 United States presidential election. Voters chose five [2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Oregon was essentially a one-party Republican state during the Fourth Party System from 1896 to 1928, with the party winning almost every statewide election during the period. Apart from Woodrow Wilson’s two elections, during the first of which the GOP was severely divided, no Democrat had carried a single county in the state since William Jennings Bryan in 1900.
However, since the 1928 election when Oregon had been won against Al Smith by 30.04%, the United States had fallen into the Great Depression, which had been particularly severe in the rural western parts of the nation. [3] The New Deal was especially popular in the Pacific States, [4] and as a result, Roosevelt was assured of carrying the state.
Oregon was won by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt (D–New York), running with Speaker John Nance Garner, with 57.99% of the popular vote, against incumbent President Herbert Hoover (R–California), running with Vice President Charles Curtis, with 36.88% of the popular vote. [5] Roosevelt flipped every county in Oregon except arch-Yankee Benton. This election marked the first-ever Democratic victory in the northern coastal counties of Clatsop, Tillamook, and Lincoln as well as the first Democratic victory in the Portland Metro-rooted county of Washington, the inland wheat-growing county of Wheeler, and the Central Oregon county of Deschutes. [6] It was also just the second Democratic victory in the historically Republican counties of Clackamas, Gilliam, Marion, Multnomah, Sherman and Yamhill. [6]

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 achieved 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.
