Elections in Michigan |
---|
The 1948 United States presidential election in Michigan took place on November 2, 1948, as part of the 1948 United States presidential election. Voters chose 19[3] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Michigan was won by Governor Thomas E. Dewey (R–New York), running with Governor Earl Warren, with 49.23% of the popular vote, against incumbent President Harry S. Truman (D–Missouri), running with Senator Alben W. Barkley, with 47.57% of the popular vote.[4][5]
Michigan weighed in for this election as around 7% more Republican than the nation-at-large. Dewey’s victory was the first of three consecutive Republican victories in the state, as Michigan would not vote for a Democratic candidate again until John F. Kennedy narrowly won the state in 1960.
