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.
