Taylor wins in a landslide. Too lazy to draw a map. The PV would be about 55% Taylor-45% Pierce. Even though I'm assuming there is no Civil War in this scenario, and a Civil War was definitely possible since Taylor wanted California admitted to the Union as a free state without any conditions attached (like a stronger Fugitive Slave Law). This would have greatly angered many Southern states and possibly caused them to seceede. The only thing that delayed that in RL for 10 years is that Taylor died and Millard Fillmore agreed to implement a stronger Fugitive Slave Act in exchange for making California a free state.
