Millard Fillmore Whig Franklin Pierce Democratic Pre-consolidation: Post-consolidation: Pre-consolidation: Post-consolidation: The 1852 United States presidential election in New York took place on November 2, 1852, as part of the 1852 United States presidential election.
Abolitionist Free Soil party candidate John Hale took 4.85% of the vote.
Despite dying nine days before the election, he received 0.08% of the vote, mostly in New York City.
It was thus the last time until 1964 that many New York Counties voted for a Democrat, namely Allegany, Broome, Chenango, Delaware, Jefferson, Madison, Onondaga, Oswego, St. Lawrence, Tioga, Warren, and Wayne counties.
This was the last election in which the Whigs and not the Republican Party provided the main opposition to the Democrats.
