Gallup Explains How Poll Worked in 1944 Campaign
Gallup testified that early campaign samples showed 53 percent for Roosevelt and 47 percent for Dewey, with adjustments after registration figures. He said migrant workers and CIO PAC influenced results, and final forecasts were based on late information not in earlier tabulations. He noted a 1944 bias due to migrant voting and limitations in migrant data.
