1952 United States House of Representatives elections

The 1952 United States House of Representatives elections was an election for the United States House of Representatives to elect members to serve in the 83rd United States Congress. They were held for the most part on November 4, 1952, while Maine held theirs on September 8. This was the first election after the congressional reapportionment based on the 1950 Census. It also coincided with the election of President Dwight Eisenhower. Eisenhower's Republican Party gained 22 seats from the Democratic Party, gaining a majority of the House. However, the Democrats had almost 250,000 more votes (0.4%) thanks to overwhelming margins in the Solid South, although this election did see the first Republican elected to the House from North Carolina since 1928,[1] and the first Republicans elected from Virginia since 1930.[2] It was also the last election when both major parties increased their share of the popular vote simultaneously, largely due to the disintegration of the American Labor Party and other third parties.

Outgoing President Harry Truman's dismal approval rating was one reason why his party lost its House majority. Also, continued uneasiness about the Korean War was an important factor. Joseph Martin (R-Massachusetts) became Speaker of the House, exchanging places with Sam Rayburn (D-Texas), who became the new Minority Leader.

This was the last time Republicans had control in the House of Representatives until 1994, as despite the GOP controlling the Presidency for a majority of that time, Democrats performed vastly superior in down-ballot elections, especially in the South, which had started to drift towards Republican Presidential candidates. As of 2020, this is the last time the House changed partisan control during a presidential cycle, and the last time both houses did so simultaneously.[3]

of President Dwight Eisenhower Eisenhower s Republican Party gained 22 seats from the Democratic Party gaining a majority of the House However the Democrats had almost 250 000 more votes 0 4 thanks to overwhelming margins in the Solid South although this election did see the first Republican elected to the House from North Carolina since 1928 1 and the first Republicans elected from Virginia since 1930 2 It was also the last election when both major parties increased their share of the popular vote simultaneously largely due to the disintegration of the American Labor Party and other third

until 1994 as despite the GOP controlling the Presidency for a majority of that time Democrats performed vastly superior in down ballot elections especially in the South which had started to drift towards Republican Presidential candidates As of 2020 this is the last time the House changed partisan control during a presidential cycle and the last time both houses did so simultaneously 3
