Ohio was narrowly won by the Democratic Party candidate, Franklin Pierce, who won the state with a plurality of 47.83 percent of the popular vote. The Whig Party candidate, Winfield Scott, garnered 43.18 percent of the popular vote, and Free Soil Party candidate John P. Hale gained 8.98 percent,[1] a figure exceeded by a third-party candidate in Ohio only six times since.[a]
Pierce would become the final Democrat to win Ohio until Woodrow Wilson won it in 1912.
