First sentence of the UP report, dated November 3rd, 1948

Quote
Philadelphia, by pre-election standards a bastion of Republicanism, voted against the GOP by handing President Truman an unofficial 6746 margin over Governor Thomas E. Dewey.

Article noted the Democratic sweep was unexpected due to voter registration figures.

Of course, trying to search for more about Philadelphia in the 1948 election is complicated by both parties holding their 1948 conventions in Philadelphia
