Arizona was won by former U.S. Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover (R–California), running with U.S. Senator from Kansas Charles Curtis, with 57.57% of the popular vote, against Governor of New York Al Smith (D–New York), running with U.S. Senator from Arkansas Joseph Taylor Robinson, with 42.23% of the popular vote.[2][3]
Hoover would be the final Republican presidential candidate to win Arizona, or to even carry a single county in the state, until Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952.
