All 48 states were part of the United States presidential election. New Mexico voters chose four electors to represent them in the Electoral College, which voted for President and Vice President.

New Mexico was won by incumbent President Dwight D. Eisenhower by a 16 point landslide. Running against Eisenhower was former Governor of Illinois Adlai Stevenson, whom Eisenhower had earlier defeated for the Presidency in 1952.[1] This election reflected one of the last election cycles where the Democratic Party still had post Civil War political domination of the deep South. This was also the last United States presidential election in of which both parties were born in the 19th century.
