United States presidential election, 1932 The United States presidential election of 1932 was the thirty-seventh quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 8, 1932. The election took place against the backdrop of the Great Depression that ruined the promises of incumbent President and Republican candidate Herbert Hoover to bring about a new era of prosperity. The Democratic nomination went to the well-known governor of the most populous state, New York's Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had been re-elected governor in a landslide in 1930. Roosevelt united all wings of his party, avoided divisive cultural issues, and brought in a leading Southern Democrat as his running mate, House Speaker John Nance Garner of Texas. While Hoover won the last election by a landslide victory margin of 17.4%, Roosevelt won this election by 17.7%.
