Pennsylvania voted for the Republican nominee, war hero General Dwight D. Eisenhower, over the Democratic nominee, Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson. Eisenhower won Pennsylvania by a margin of 5.89%.
Despite Thomas Dewey's relatively strong showing in Philadelphia County in 1948, Eisenhower became the first Republican ever to win the White House without carrying Allegheny or Philadelphia Counties, which had been Republican strongholds prior to the New Deal.
This was the first election since 1868 in which Pennsylvania voted more Democratic than the nation. It would continue to do so in every election thereafter until 2016.
