Iowa was won by incumbent President Dwight D. Eisenhower (R–Pennsylvania), running with Vice President Richard Nixon, with 59.06% of the popular vote, against Adlai Stevenson (D–Illinois), running with Senator Estes Kefauver, with 40.65% of the popular vote.[4][5] Iowa’s result weighed in as exactly 3% more Republican than the nation-at-large. Eisenhower carried every county except for Wapello County, thereby making him the first Republican to win the White House without carrying this county since Abraham Lincoln in 1860; this would be the last time a Republican presidential candidate won Dubuque County until Donald Trump in 2016.[6]
