10/31 Polls predicted a solid victory for Thomas Dewey over Harry Truman in 1948. Truman won. In 1980, polls showed Reagan and Carter in a close race, but Reagan won by a landslide. What really happened in 1948 and 1980? \_ "Dewey Defeats Truman" was based on early returns, and the Chicago Tribune needing to go to press before enough returns were in. Carter/Reagan was an example of undecideds breaking to the challenger. -tom |
