The 1952 United States presidential election in Washington took place on November 4, 1952, as part of the 1952 United States presidential election. Voters chose nine[3] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Washington was won by Columbia University President Dwight D. Eisenhower (R–New York), running with California Senator Richard Nixon, with 54.33% of the popular vote, against Adlai Stevenson (D–Illinois), running with Alabama Senator John Sparkman, with 44.69% of the popular vote.[4][5]
This was the last time the Republican Party carried Pacific County until Donald Trump did so in 2016,[6] and the last time that a Republican won a majority of the vote in Pacific County, as Trump only received pluralities in 2016 and 2020.
