| | U.S. presidential election, 1948 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The U.S. presidential election of 1948 is best known as one of the greatest political upsets in history, as incumbent President Harry S Truman defeated Republican Thomas Dewey against the predictions of most contemporary polls and in spite of a three-way split in his own Democratic party. | | | The Progressive Party reinvented itself in 1948 with the nomination of Henry Wallace, a former Secretary of Agriculture and Vice President under Franklin D. Roosevelt. | | | In gearing up for the election of 1948, both major parties courted General Dwight Eisenhower, a popular war hero and political moderate who could carry a large number of votes on the back of his military record alone. |

Roosevelt and cabinet member for both Roosevelt and Truman until being asked to resign by Truman in 1946. | | | The upset win of Harry Truman over Thomas E. Dewey in the 1948 election came after leading publications had confidently predicted Dewey's victory (e.g. | | | After Truman supported passage of stronger civil rights legislation, the entire Mississippi and half of the Alabama delegates walked out of the Democratic National Convention, and the disaffected southerners then nominated South Carolina Governor Strom Thurmond to run on the States Rights' Democratic Party, or so-called "Dixiecrat" ticket. |

| | The election clearly did not signify any substantial shift of voters from a Democratic to a Republican allegiance, nor was it a repudiation by voters of New Deal policies or an endorsement of GOP counterproposals. | | | In analyses before the election, he judged 1946 as the high point of Republican fortunes, coming as it did in the wake of GOP gains in the off-year elections of 1938 and 1942. | | | Ironically, the 1948 election that established his reputation as a prophet also marked the beginning of his decline as an analyst. |

| | The Last Campaign: How Harry Truman Won the 1948 Election |
| | A big part of Karabell's argument is that the two third parties in 1948 - Strom Thurmond's right-wing, racist States Rights' (or "Dixiecrat") Party, and Henry Wallace's left-wing "Progressive" Party made 1948 the "last" year in which the voters of America were offered a "genuine" choice of candidates. | | | In '44 he had attacked Roosevelt, probably too much and was convinced that was what cost him the election. | | | Black voters were still not a block that could be counted on for Democrats in 1948. |

| | The Real Third-Party Candidate in 1948 |
| | Like Ralph Nader's voters in 2000, the leftist insurgent's supporters in 1948 cost Democrats several states: Michigan, New Jersey, and New York went narrowly to Dewey, whose civil-rights posture was at best platitudinous and ephemeral and whose antipathy to labor was legendary. | | | The segregationist apostates didn't expect Thurmond to win the election (he carried only four Southern states); they meant to divert enough Electoral College votes from Truman to throw his contest with Republican Thomas Dewey into the House of Representatives. | | | Dewey carried his own state, the solidly New Deal New York, by 61,000 votes only because nearly half a million votes which should have been Truman's went instead to the leftist challenger, who claimed to be Roosevelt's true legatee. |

| | Large Republican majorities had been sent to both houses of Congress in the off-year elections in 1946, ending their opponents long reign. | | | An enduring image was provided the day after the election when a smiling Truman held aloft an early edition of the Chicago Daily Tribune that proclaimed, “DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN.” Results in Congress were equally stunning; the Democrats won a 93-seat majority in the House and a 12-seat edge in the Senate. | | | NOTE: Tennessee's electoral vote was split with 11 electors favoring the Democrats and one elector voting for the States' Rights Democrats (Dixiecrats). |
