Michigan was won by Columbia University President Dwight D. Eisenhower (Republican–New York), running with Senator Richard Nixon, with 55.44% of the popular vote, against Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson (Democratic), running with Alabama Senator John Sparkman, with 43.97% of the popular vote, making Michigan 0.6% more Republican than the nation-at-large.
