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

Wyoming was won by the Republican candidate, Columbia University President Dwight D. Eisenhower from New York, running with California Senator Richard Nixon, with 62.71 percent of the popular vote, against the Democratic candidate, Adlai Stevenson from Illinois, running with Alabama Senator John Sparkman, with 38.93 percent of the popular vote, a margin of victory of 25.6%. Eisenhower was able to easily carry the state despite the fact that it had voted for Harry Truman 4 years earlier in 1948, with the state trending to the right by almost 30 points in this election. Wyoming weighed in as 14.7% more Republican than the rest of the nation.

Eisenhowever flipped 9 counties that had previously gone Democratic in 1948, those being: Uinta, Sheridan, Platte, Natrona, Lincoln, Laramie, Hot Springs, Carbon, and Albany. Stevenson only managed to win one county, with that being the heavily unionized Sweetwater, which no Republican had won since Warren Harding in 1920. With the Republican victory in this race and the next two consecutive elections, Wyoming would begin its transition into a Republican stronghold, only voting for the Democratic presidential nominee one more time, in 1964. In fact, since 1964, Democrats haven't even managed to crack 40% of the statewide vote in an election.^[4]
