The 1940 United States presidential election in Iowa took place on November 5, 1940, as part of the 1940 United States presidential election. Iowa voters chose 11 [2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Iowa was won by Wendell Willkie (R–New York), running with Minority Leader Charles L. McNary, with 52.03% of the popular vote, against incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt (D–New York), running with Secretary Henry A. Wallace (who resides in Iowa), with 47.62% of the popular vote. [3] [4]
This is the fourth most recent election in which Iowa voted for a different candidate than neighboring Wisconsin, a phenomenon that has only repeated three times since - in 1976, 2004, and 2020.
