Elections in Ohio |
---|
The 1944 United States presidential election in Ohio was held on November 7, 1944 as part of the 1944 United States presidential election. State voters chose 25 electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Ohio was narrowly won by Republican Party candidate Thomas E. Dewey with 50.18% of the popular vote; Dewey's running mate was incumbent Ohio Governor John W. Bricker. The Democratic candidate, incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt got 49.82% of the popular vote. This election was one of only three occasions since 1892 the Buckeye State has voted for a losing candidate, the others being in 1960 for Richard Nixon and 2020 for Donald Trump. [1] This also marks the last time that Ohio voted for a candidate who never won the presidency (as Nixon would win the White House later in 1968 and Trump was already the incumbent president in 2020) and the last time that an incumbent president of either party won another term in office without winning Ohio. Had Roosevelt won the state along with Kennedy in 1960, Ohio would have had the longest streak of any state voting for the winning candidate up until 2020.

The 1944 United States presidential election was the 40th quadrennial presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 7, 1944. The election took place during World War II, which ended the following year. Incumbent Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated Republican Thomas E. Dewey to win an unprecedented fourth term. It was also the fifth presidential election in which both major party candidates were registered in the same home state; the others have been in 1860, 1904, 1920, 1940, and 2016. This was the last election until 1996 that saw the reelection of an incumbent Democratic president.
Gallup was the first polling organization to conduct accurate opinion polling for United States presidential elections. Gallup polling has often been accurate in predicting the outcome of presidential elections and the margin of victory for the winner. However, it missed some close elections: 1948, 1976 and 2004, the popular vote in 2000, and the likely-voter numbers in 2012. The month section in the tables represents the month in which the opinion poll was conducted. D represents the Democratic Party, and R represents the Republican Party. Third parties, such as the Dixiecrats and the Reform Party, were included in some polls.
