Dewey picked up Ohio, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, while FDR took Michigan.
Why did this happen? Was this entirely turnout related? Was Dewey actually appealing to FDR '40 voters this time around? Was it FDR's rumored health issues? Do we have reliable exit polls from this election?
If anything, I'd expect FDR to pick up support from a "rally around the flag" effect and match or even exceed 1936.
