Key to his victory were his large margins in the rural agriculture-reliant counties, which had supported Roosevelt in his previous runs in 1932 and 1936, however turned against him in 1940, largely due to parts of The New Deal which paid farmers to destroy their crops to prevent overproduction backfiring, and causing food shortages, along with requiring more food to be imported from other countries.F.D.R.'s Disastrous Experiment https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2010/11/21/do-farm-subsidies-protect-national-security/fdrs-disastrous-experiment 2023-05-12 www.nytimes.com enFarmers and the New Deal https://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/modern-world-history-1918-to-1980/america-1918-1939/farmers-and-the-new-deal/ 2023-05-12 History Learning Site en-GB With a swing to the right of 2.8%, Nebraska continued its heavy trend to the Republican column, with 1944 marking its 3rd consecutive swing to the right, which began in 1936 with Alf Landon's surprising overperformance. Roosevelt did however manage to flip Greeley County by 23 votes, which had voted for Willkie. With a nationwide Roosevelt popular vote victory margin of 7.5%, Nebraska voted 24.7% to the right of the nation, and the state would prove to be Dewey's second strongest state after Kansas.https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/stats.php?year=1944&f=0&off=0&elect=0 1944 Presidential Election Statistics Dave Leip’s Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections 2018-03-05 Dewey's margin of victory was the most for any candidate since Roosevelt himself in 1932 and the most for a Republican since Herbert Hoover in 1928.
