1948 United States presidential election in New Hampshire
Dewey took 52.41% of the vote to Truman's 46.66%, a margin of 5.75%. Wallace came in a distant third, with 0.85%.
Dewey won seven counties to Truman's three; however, the race was kept close statewide by Truman's victories in the more populous counties of the state.
Carroll County had long been the most Republican county in New Hampshire, voting 60% against FDR all four times, and would vote over 70% for Thomas E. Dewey.
As Truman narrowly won an upset victory over Dewey nationally, New Hampshire's result would make the state about ten percentage points more Republican than the national average. Dewey's 52.41% of the popular vote made New Hampshire his fifth strongest state after Vermont, Maine, Nebraska and Kansas.[1]
