2052 United States presidential election in Utah



The 2052 United States presidential election in Utah was held on Tuesday, November 5, 2052, as part of the 2052 United States presidential election. The Republican ticket of Abdul O'Shea and Dolores Andres won the state with 76.78% of the vote and a 58.61% margin of victory, in their strongest statewide performance in the entire country. O'Shea won all but one county (Salt Lake County, which had been a Democratic stronghold in the preceding decades, voted just 50-46 for President Les.)

While O'Shea downplayed his social conservatism during much of his campaign, his libertarian economic policy appealed heavily in Utah.

This was the strongest performance ever for a Republican presidential candidate in Utah. As the Democratic Party shifted towards libertarian economic policies and became more conservative across the board, Utah briefly became a swing state and then a Democratic stronghold in the 2060s-2070s.
