The 1852 United States presidential election in Wisconsin was held on November 2, 1852, as part of the 1852 United States presidential election. State voters chose five electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.
Democratic Party candidate Franklin Pierce won the state with 51.98% of the popular vote, winning Wisconsin's five electoral votes.
This would be the final time a Democratic presidential candidate would win Wisconsin until Grover Cleveland won the state in 1892. No Democratic presidential candidate would again win a majority of Wisconsin's popular vote until Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932.
This was the last election until 1936 in which a Democrat carried Rock County. Additionally, neither Bad Ax (Vernon) County nor Waushara County would vote Democratic again until 1932. Columbia County, Grant County, Green County, Portag County, Racine County, Rock County, St. Croix County would also not vote for a Democrat again until 1912.
