The 1952 United States presidential election in Oregon took place on November 4, 1952, as part of the 1952 United States presidential election. Voters chose six representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.[3]

Oregon was won by Columbia University President Dwight D. Eisenhower (R–New York), running with California Senator Richard Nixon, with 60.54% of the popular vote, carrying every county in the state except Columbia. The challenger, Adlai Stevenson (D–Illinois), running with Alabama Senator John Sparkman, lost the state with 38.93% of the popular vote. This is the last election in which a Republican would win over 60% of the vote in Oregon. This is also the closest any presidential candidate has come to sweeping all of the state’s counties after 1936.
