Voters chose 35 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. New York voted for the Democratic candidate, Franklin Pierce, over the Whig Party candidate, Winfield Scott. Pierce won the state by a margin of 5.21%. Abolitionist Free Soil party candidate John P. Hale took 4.85% of the vote. William Goodell of the Liberty Party, another smaller abolitionist party, also took a tiny portion of the vote. So did Daniel Webster, running as a Whig nominated against his will by a group of southern Whigs unsatisfied with Scott. Despite dying nine days before the election, he received 0.08% of the vote, mostly in New York City. This was one of the few northern states where he received votes.Morrill James R. 1967 THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 1852: DEATH KNELL OF THE WHIG PARTY OF NORTH CAROLINA https://www.jstor.org/stable/23518002 The North Carolina Historical Review 44 4 342–359 0029-2494 This was the last time a Democrat won the state outside of New York City proper until 1912 and the last until 1964, when Lyndon Johnson swept every New York county, that they received a majority. It was thus the last time until 1964 that many New York Counties voted for a Democrat, namely Allegany, Broome, Chenango, Delaware, Jefferson, Madison, Onondaga, Oswego, St. Lawrence, Tioga, Warren, and Wayne counties. This was the last election in which the Whigs and not the Republican Party provided the main opposition to the Democrats. After the birth of the Republican Party, upstate New York remained a Republican bastion up until the 1990s.Presidential election of 1936 - Map by counties http://geoelections.free.fr/USA/elec_comtes/1936.htm 2021-11-18 geoelections.free.fr Results 1852 United States presidential election in New YorkOfficial Canvass of the Electoral Vote in the State of New York -- 1852 https://www.newspapers.com/image-view/254513435/ 2 December 2025 Buffalo Daily Republic 31 December 1852 5-6Official Canvass of the Electoral Vote of the State of New York https://www.newspapers.com/image-view/843827893/ 2 December 2025 The New York Herald 14 December 1852 2-3The Whig Almanac and United States Register for 1853 1853 Greeley & McElrath New York 50 https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015065248596&view=1up&seq=56Since New York voted for presidential electors directly, the totals below are based on the highest elector on each ticket.
