The 1932 United States presidential election in New Mexico took place on November 8, 1932. All contemporary forty-eight states were part of the 1932 United States presidential election. State voters chose three electors to represent them in the Electoral College, which voted for President and Vice President.
New Mexico was won by New York Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt in a 27-point landslide against incumbent president Herbert Hoover, who failed to gain reelection.[1] He won every county save Valencia and San Miguel. As of 2020, this remains the best presidential performance in New Mexico history.
Roosevelt was the first Democrat to ever win Doña Ana County, Rio Arriba County, Santa Fe County, Taos County, and Torrance County. Roosevelt failed to flip San Miguel County and Valencia County (the latter being by far the most Republican county in the state at the time), though his share of the vote in each county was the highest ever achieved by a Democrat to that point. Roosevelt would ultimately flip both counties in the following election.
