Polls show Landon leads Roosevelt in national ratings
The Kingsport Times polls over a dozen national surveys to chart shifts in electoral votes. Landon leads with about 282 to Roosevelt's 249, with several states in doubt and small shifts capable of reshaping the race. Michigan moves from Roosevelt to doubtful Landon, while Indiana and Colorado show gains for Landon and Roosevelt in others. Overall, Landon holds a slim edge in electoral votes, but a few key states remain pivotal.
