New Mexico was won by incumbent President Harry S. Truman, who took the Oval Office after the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Running against Truman was Governor of New York Thomas E. Dewey, who was strongly predicted to win the contest. Dixiecrat candidate Strom Thurmond took portions of the South, but was not even on the ballot in New Mexico and other Western states.

As of the 2024 presidential election, this is the last election in which Union County and Harding County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate and the last until 2020 in which Valencia County voted for a losing candidate.
