Democrats made gains, even thought Roosevelt's New Deal coalition was weakening. Truman ran a whistle-stop campaign and visited a huge cross-section of America. He had the common touch and a great appeal to the middle class. The election showed that the new deal type of programs still brought (or perhaps bought) votes.
