The 1944 United States presidential election in Colorado took place on November 7, 1944, as part of the 1944 United States presidential election. State voters chose six[2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Colorado was won by Governor Thomas E. Dewey (R–New York), running with Governor John Bricker, with 53.21% of the popular vote, against incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt (D–New York), running with Senator Harry S. Truman, with 46.40% of the popular vote.[3][4] With a victory margin of 6.8%, Colorado shifted to the right by 4.3% from 1940, when Wendell Willkie carried it by a slim margin of 2.5%.
Despite his comfortable victory, Dewey would go on to lose Colorado in 1948 to Harry S. Truman.
