The race was between Republican Richard Nixon, Democrat Hubert Humprhey, and Independent George Wallace. Nixon won with 32 states (301 electoral votes) ahead of Humprehy's 13 states plus Washington DC (191 electoral votes), and Wallace's 5 states (46 electoral votes).

The Vietnam War was a big factor. President Johnson became very unpopular with people of draft age and was challenged so severely for the nomination that he withdrew, leaving the field to Robert Kennedy. Kennedy's assassination left the Democrats in relative disarray .

1952 U.S. Presidential Election Results:

  • 266 votes (50.09%) - minimum required
  • 442 votes (83.24%) - Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower (R-NY)
  • 89 votes (16.76%) - Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson II (D-IL)

This was the last U.S. Presidential election until 2008 in which neither the incumbent President nor the incumbent Vice President was one of the two major-party presidential nominees. The incumbent President ran for reelection in 1956, 1964, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1992, 1996 & 2004, and the incumbent Vice President ran for President in 1960, 1968, 1988 & 2000.

Gov. Stevenson, the 1952 Democratic Party Presidential Nominee, was the grandson of former U.S. Vice President Adlai E. Stevenson I.

The Elections of 1952 & 1956 made up one of the six pairs of consecutive U.S. Presidential elections with the same two major-party presidential candidates, and the only such pair in the 20th century. The others were 1796 & 1800, 1824 & 1828, 1836 & 1840, 1888 & 1892 and 1896 & 1900.
