Pennsylvania voted for the Republican nominee, President Herbert Hoover, over the Democratic nominee, New York Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt. Hoover won Pennsylvania by a margin of 5.51%.
With 50.84% of the popular vote, Pennsylvania would be Hoover's third strongest state in the nation after Vermont and Maine.[1]
This is the last election where the Republican candidate carried Philadelphia County in a presidential election.[2] This was also the third most recent election in which Pennsylvania did not vote the same as neighboring New York,[3] a phenomenon that has only been repeated twice since, in 1988 and 2016.
