The 1852 United States presidential election in Michigan took place on November 2, 1852, as part of the
1852 United States presidential election. Voters chose six representatives, or electors to the
Electoral College, who voted for
President and
Vice President.
Michigan voted for the
Democratic candidate,
Franklin Pierce, over
Whig candidate
Winfield Scott and
Free Soil candidate
John P. Hale. Pierce won Michigan by a margin of 9.62%.
As of the
2020 presidential election
[update], this is the last and only time
Sanilac County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.
[1] It would also be the last time until
1964 that
Allegan County,
Hillsdale County and
Lapeer County would support a Democratic presidential candidate.
[1] This was also the last time Michigan sent a full slate of Democratic electors to the Electoral College until
Franklin Delano Roosevelt in
1932, although it did send five
Grover Cleveland electors in
1892.
