Missouri was won by incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt (D–New York), running with Senator Harry S. Truman, with 51.37% of the popular vote, against Governor Thomas E. Dewey (R–New York), running with Governor John Bricker, with 48.43% of the popular vote.[3][4]
Despite winning the state, Roosevelt's victory margin of less than three percentage points was historically poor for a nationally-successful Democrat, and the state weighed in as 4.56% more Republican than the nation at-large.
