North Carolina was won by incumbent President Harry S. Truman (D–Missouri), running with Senator Alben W. Barkley, with 58.02% of the popular vote, against Governor Thomas Dewey (R–New York), running with Governor Earl Warren, with 32.68% of the popular vote.[3][4] As of the 2016 presidential election[update], this is the last election in which Cabarrus County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.[5] This was the worst state for Thurmond of the Confederacy, and 1 of only 2, the other being Texas, in which he did not win at least one county.
