Herbert Hoover Republican Franklin D. Roosevelt Democratic The 1932 United States presidential election in Oregon took place on November 8, 1932, as part of the 1932 United States presidential election.
Apart from Woodrow Wilson’s two elections, during the first of which the GOP was severely divided, no Democrat had carried a single county in the state since William Jennings Bryan in 1900.
However, since the 1928 election when Oregon had been won against Al Smith by 30.04%, the United States had fallen into the Great Depression, which had been particularly severe in the rural western parts of the nation.
Oregon was won by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt (D–New York), running with Speaker John Nance Garner, with 57.99% of the popular vote, against incumbent President Herbert Hoover (R–California), running with Vice President Charles Curtis, with 36.88% of the popular vote.
