North Carolina Expected to Split For Truman-Barkley Ticket
North Carolina voters are projected to give a narrow Democratic majority to the Truman-Barkley presidential ticket and elect regular Democratic nominees in state offices by about three to two. A fully Democratic delegation is anticipated in Congress, while Republican strength in the state house is forecast to stay at 20 or fewer. Predictions hinge on extensive statewide canvassing and interviews, with turnout expected to be the state’s largest ever though a million votes seem unlikely. The western half is seen as the most likely to set new records, while the east may bypass the general election to a greater extent. In 1944 the first district cast 11,201 votes in the rar election, and the 12th district 72,221.
