The 1844 United States presidential election in New York took place between November 1 and December 4, 1844, as part of the 1844 United States presidential election. Voters chose 36 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.
New York voted for the Democratic candidate, James K. Polk, over Whig candidate Henry Clay. Polk won New York by a narrow margin of 1.05%.
