From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1952 United States presidential election in Virginia took place on November 4, 1952. Voters chose 12 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College , who voted for president and vice president .
Virginia voted for the Republican nominee, General Dwight Eisenhower , over the Democratic nominee, Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson . This election in particular marked a shift from Virginia being previously regarded as a safe blue state to more of a red state . Eisenhower ultimately won the national election with 55.18% of the vote. It was the first time Virginia voted for a Republican since it was won by Herbert Hoover in 1928 .
