1892
Reading the 1892 result in New Jersey
New Jersey backed Cleveland (Democratic) in the 1892 presidential election, casting 10 electoral votes for the ticket. New Jersey ended up on the winning side — Grover Cleveland captured the White House that year.
It marked the 8th consecutive election in which New Jersey backed the Democratic party, a streak reaching back to 1864. The region divided — New York and Delaware joined New Jersey for the Democratic ticket, while Pennsylvania did not. Across the 60 presidential elections New Jersey has taken part in, it has most often sided with the Democratic party (31 times). The vote fell within the Gilded Age — Industrialization, narrow margins, and patronage politics.
In the national count, Grover Cleveland took 277 of the 444 electoral votes, against Benjamin Harrison's 145. Grover Cleveland led the national popular vote with 46.02% of the ballots cast.
