The 1948 United States presidential election in Illinois took place on November 2, 1948, as part of the 1948 United States presidential election. State voters chose 28[2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Illinois was won by incumbent President Harry S. Truman (D–Missouri), running with Senator Alben W. Barkley, with 50.07% of the popular vote, against Governor Thomas Dewey (R–New York), running with Governor Earl Warren, with 49.22% of the popular vote.[3][4] This is the only time since 1888 in which Illinois voted for a different candidate than New Jersey.
