Voters chose 13 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.1952 Presidential Election Results — Missouri http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=1952&fips=29&f=0&off=0&elect=0&minper=0
Missouri was won by Columbia University President Dwight D. Eisenhower (R–New York), running with Senator Richard Nixon, with 50.71 percent of the popular vote, against Adlai Stevenson (D–Illinois), running with Senator John Sparkman, with 49.14 percent of the popular vote.
Missouri weighed in for this election as slightly over 9 points more Democratic than the nation-at-large. It would become the only state which Eisenhower won in 1952 but would flip to Stevenson four years later. It is the only occasion where Missouri voted for a Republican Presidential candidate between 1928 and 1968.
