WHISTLE-STOPPING
THROUGH OHIO
1 Washington Post, November 4, 1948. George Gallup predicted that the
popular vote would be
Dewey 49.5% and Truman 44.5%, with the
remaining six percent divided between Wallace and
Thurmond. Ibid. Newsweek (October
11, 1948, p. 20) reported that its staff of fifty "experts"
unanimously predicted a Dewey victory. Time
(October 18, 1948, p. 25) was of the opinion that,
at best, Truman could win only nine
states (not including Ohio) and eighty-three electoral votes.
2 In Ohio, Truman received 1,452,791
votes to Dewey's 1,445,684, while Henry Wallace received
37,596. Ohio Election Statistics,
1948 (Columbus, 1949), 186. In the nation, Truman received
24,105,812 to Dewey's 21,970,065.
Wallace received 1,157,172 and Strom Thurmond 1,169,063.

6 It must be noted, however, that in
1944 Dewey's running mate was Ohioan John Bricker. The
number of votes which swung to the
Republican ticket in 1944 because of Bricker's position on it
cannot be determined.
