Why?
Anyway, FDR/Wallace (Progressive), but I don't understand why is FDR the nominee of two parties.

Sometimes that happened. And I guess more chances for people to deify a fascist.

I assume for the same reason Bryan had two running mates in 1896; the Democrats and Progressives could agree on Roosevelt as their presidential candidate, but not on the running mate.

Voted Roosevelt/Byrnes, because I don't trust Wallace with the presidency at the dawn of the Cold War. Incidentally, will Roosevelt's Democratic and Progressive totals be combined, or counted as two separate tickets?

I see, that's interesting. I thought it was a mistake. In that case, though the poll doesn't allow it, I'll sacrifice the possible 3rd party victory which I always find fascinating in favour of FDR/Bryan.

What happened to Truman?

But I'll go with Wallace, in order to avert a Cold War.

Roosevelt/Wallace, but wouldn't be too upset with Byrnes.

Despite campaigning by Byrnes, and a comfortable lead, allegations of corruption within the Office of War Mobilization crushed Byrnes, leading to a rush to the Progressives.

Governor Thomas Dewey (R-NY) / Governor John Bricker (R-OH) [Republican] - 41.50% - 19,031,604 votes - 73 EVs
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (D-NY) / Vice President Henry Wallace (D-IA) [Progressive] - 30.02% - 13,766,958 votes - 266 EVs 
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (D-NY) / Director of the Office of War Mobilization James Byrnes (D-SC) [Democratic] - 27.59% - 12,652,577 votes - 192 EVs
