Maine voted for the Democratic candidate, Franklin Pierce, over the Whig Party candidate, Winfield Scott. Pierce won the state by a margin of 11.03%.

Pierce would be the last Democratic candidate to win Maine until Woodrow Wilson in 1912 and the last one until Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 to win a majority of the popular vote. This would be the last occasion until 1880 that a Democrat carried any county in the state, the last until 1964 that a Democratic presidential candidate won Franklin County, Oxford County, Penobscot County or Piscataquis County, and the last until 1912 that a Democrat carried Cumberland County, Hancock County, Washington County or York County.[1]
