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 |
