President before election Harry S. Truman Democratic Elected President Dwight D. Eisenhower Republican

The 1952 United States presidential election in Missouri took place on November 4, 1952, as part of the 1952 United States presidential election. Voters chose 13 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. ^[3]

Missouri was won by Columbia University President Dwight D. Eisenhower (R–New York), running with Senator Richard Nixon, with 50.71 percent of the popular vote, against Adlai Stevenson (D–Illinois), running with Senator John Sparkman, with 49.14 percent of the popular vote.

Missouri weighed in for this election as slightly over 9 points more Democratic than the nation-at-large. It would become the only state which Eisenhower won in 1952 but would flip to Stevenson four years later. It is the only occasion where Missouri voted for a Republican Presidential candidate between 1928 and 1968.
