Utah was won by Democratic Party candidate Harry S. Truman, who carried the state with 53.98 percent of the popular vote and winning its four electoral votes.

After 1948, the state would shift strongly toward the Republican Party, only backing the Democratic presidential nominee once more, during Lyndon B. Johnson's 1964 landslide, and in many election cycles afterward being the most Republican state in the nation.As of 2020 this is the last time that Utah voted more Democratic than Illinois.
