Herbert Hoover Republican Franklin D. Roosevelt Democratic The 1932 United States presidential election in Minnesota took place on November 8, 1932, as part of the 1932 United States presidential election.
Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt became the first Democrat to ever carry Minnesota in a presidential election, taking 59.9% of the state's vote to incumbent Republican President Herbert Hoover's 36.3%, a margin of victory of 23.62% and 236,847 votes.
The election of 1932, the first held since the Wall Street Crash of 1929, effectively marked the end of the Republican-dominated Fourth Party System, and the beginning of the Fifth Party System.
Leading up to this election, the state's 1930 gubernatorial election, in which Farmer-Labor candidate Floyd B. Olson won the governorship by a landslide margin, was considered an indicator of the GOP's poor prospects in 1932.
Minnesota has since voted Democratic in every presidential election except 1952, 1956, and 1972, all of which were national Republican landslides.
