Incumbent Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt carried Louisiana in a landslide, defeating Republican New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey by a margin of 61.20%,[2] and sweeping every parish in the state.
As of 2020, this election marks the last time that a Democratic presidential nominee has carried Bossier Parish.[3] Plaquemines Parish and Lincoln Parish have both voted for a Democratic Presidential candidate only once since – for Bill Clinton in 1996 – whilst Caddo Parish and Claiborne Parish would not vote Democratic again until Clinton in 1992.[3] As such, this marks the last time that any presidential candidate would carry every parish in the state.
