Truman won Massachusetts by 11 points against Dewey in 1948. This is astounding because it is a bigger margin than Al Smith or FDR's margins in the state. FDR actually underperformed in MA all 4 elections relative to his national popular vote margin. Truman outperformed in MA by 8 points.

Why did Truman do so well here? Given that he was a Midwesterner, he was not a good cultural fit for the state.
