The 1952 United States presidential election in Indiana took place on November 4, 1952, as part of the 1952 United States presidential election . State voters chose 13 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College , who voted for president and vice president .[3]
Indiana was won by Columbia University President Dwight D. Eisenhower (R –New York ), running with Senator Richard Nixon , with 58.11% of the popular vote, against Adlai Stevenson (D –Illinois ), running with Senator John Sparkman , with 40.99% of the popular vote. Eisenhower was the first Republican presidential candidate ever to carry German Catholic Brown County and Dubois County ,[4] which alongside his triumph in Illinois’ Union County [5] meant that every antebellum free state county had as of 1952 voted for a Republican presidential candidate at least once.[a] This is also the last election until 2020 that Vigo County voted for the losing candidate.
