1936
Reading the 1936 result in New Hampshire
New Hampshire backed Roosevelt (Democratic) in the 1936 presidential election, casting 4 electoral votes for the ticket. That placed New Hampshire with the eventual winner: Franklin D. Roosevelt went on to take the presidency, and New Hampshire was part of his column.
New Hampshire stayed in the Democratic column for the 2nd straight cycle, extending a run that began in 1932. The region divided — Massachusetts joined New Hampshire for the Democratic ticket, while Vermont and Maine did not. Over its 59 recorded presidential cycles, New Hampshire has backed the Republican party more than any other — 28 times in all. The vote fell within the New Deal Coalition — FDR, civil rights, and the long Democratic majority.
Nationally, Franklin D. Roosevelt finished with 523 of the 531 electoral votes to Alf Landon's 8. Franklin D. Roosevelt led the national popular vote with 60.8% of the ballots cast.
