The statement that best describes the impact of the election of 1912 is: The Democrats won the presidency due to the split in the Republican Party.

This election was significant because the Republican Party was divided between the incumbent William Howard Taft and former president Theodore Roosevelt, who ran as a third-party candidate (Progressive Party). This split allowed Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic candidate, to win the presidency.
