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.
