The 1932 United States presidential election in West Virginia took place on November 8, 1932, as part of the 1932 United States presidential election . West Virginia voters chose eight[2] Electoral College , who voted for president and vice president.
West Virginia was won by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt (D –New York), running with Speaker John Nance Garner , with 54.47 percent of the popular vote, against incumbent President Herbert Hoover (R –California), running with Vice President Charles Curtis , with 44.47 percent of the popular vote.[3] [4]
Despite Roosevelt being the first Democrat to win a majority of West Virginia’s vote since Grover Cleveland as far back as 1884 , West Virginia was Hoover’s tenth-best state by popular vote share and twelfth-best by percentage margin, voting overall 7.76 points more Republican than the nation at-large. The election nonetheless marked the beginning of West Virginia's transition to a strongly Democratic-leaning state during the 20th century. It voted Democratic in every election from 1932 through 1996 save the national Republican landslides of 1956 , 1972 , and 1984 ; it did not vote for a Republican in a close election until 2000 or for a losing Republican until 2008 . Roosevelt was the first Democratic victor in Hancock County since James Buchanan in 1856 , the first Democrat to win Monongalia County since Stephen A. Douglas in 1860 , and the first Democratic victor in Brooke County since Horatio Seymour in 1868.[5]
