Oregon was essentially a one-party Republican state during the Fourth Party System from 1896 to 1928, with the party winning almost every statewide election during the period. Apart from Woodrow Wilson’s two elections, during the first of which the GOP was severely divided, no Democrat had carried a single county in the state since William Jennings Bryan in 1900.
However, since the 1928 election when Oregon had been won against Al Smith by 30.04%, the United States had fallen into the Great Depression, which had been particularly severe in the rural western parts of the nation.Davies, Richard O.; ‘The Politics of Desperation: William A. Hirth and the Presidential Election of 1932’; Agricultural History, vol. 38, no. 4 (October 1964), pp. 226-234 The New Deal was especially popular in the Pacific States,Phillips, Kevin P.; The Emerging Republican Majority, p. 485 9780691163246 and as a result, Roosevelt was assured of carrying the state.
Oregon was won by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt (D–New York), running with Speaker John Nance Garner, with 57.99% of the popular vote, against incumbent President Herbert Hoover (R–California), running with Vice President Charles Curtis, with 36.88% of the popular vote.http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?f=0&fips=41&year=1932 1932 Presidential General Election Results - Oregon January 30, 2019 Roosevelt flipped every county in Oregon except arch-Yankee Benton.
