The 1944 United States presidential election in Iowa took place on November 7, 1944, as part of the 1944 United States presidential election. Iowa voters chose ten [2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Iowa was won by Governor Thomas E. Dewey (R–New York), running with Governor John Bricker, with 51.99% of the popular vote, against incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt (D–New York), running with Senator Harry S. Truman, with 47.49% of the popular vote. [3] [4] As of 2025, his is the last election in which an incumbent president of either party won another term in office without winning Iowa, as well as the only election in which the state backed the losing candidate more than once consecutively.
