1904
Reading the 1904 result in New York
New York backed Roosevelt (Republican) in the 1904 presidential election, casting 39 electoral votes for the ticket. That placed New York with the eventual winner: Theodore Roosevelt went on to take the presidency, and New York was part of his column.
New York stayed in the Republican column for the 3rd straight cycle, extending a run that began in 1896. New York did not move alone — neighboring Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont broke the same way in 1904. Over its 60 recorded presidential cycles, New York has backed the Democratic party more than any other — 29 times in all. The vote fell within the Progressive Era — Trust-busting, suffrage, and World War I.
Nationally, Theodore Roosevelt finished with 336 of the 476 electoral votes to Alton B. Parker's 140. Theodore Roosevelt led the national popular vote with 56.42% of the ballots cast.
