Incumbent Senator Hiram Bingham III ran for a second full term in office but was defeated by Democratic U.S. Representative Augustine Lonergan. Despite the fact that Connecticut was one of only six states President Herbert Hoover carried in his landslide defeat by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lonergan won the seat as one of eleven gains made by the Democrats in 1932.
