Show Notes

1948 was a Landslide.

The 1948 U.S. presidential election was a stunning upset in which incumbent President Harry S. Truman, running as a Democrat, defeated Republican challenger Thomas E. Dewey, despite widespread predictions of Dewey’s victory. Truman’s populist campaign and whistle-stop tour energized voters, while a famously premature “Dewey Defeats Truman” headline symbolized the polling errors of the time.
