Abstract
Most pollsters incorrectly predicted the 1948 United States presidential election. Political scientists try to determine political trends in the U.S. by tracking the party affiliation of the House of Representatives. Local and regional differences can be seen by analyzing election results over the years. Most states show trends that mirror overall national results. Analysis of these factors can help predict future elections.
