and so it began process started earlier, but it was important, especially in 64, with strom thurmond switching parties from the democrats to the republicans. former actor ronald reagan came out and endorsed a prominent democrat labor union leader going back to the forties and the fifties, endorsed goldwater and had as famous a time for choosing speech, which is interesting. you could watch it on youtube. it's about 30 minutes long. so we don't have we can't watch it in class. and it began the process of the political winds gradually shifting in the south. and today we find in another shift that we don't have the perspective yet to see going on. so after goldwater, the south begins to shift. republican and today something else is going know, i think is georgia going to remain republican is is virginia going to remain republican? and it's started earlier. remember, eisenhower won virginia times in 52, eisenhower, nixon, eisenhower, nixon in 1956, one louisiana. so it really began chip away at the traditional democratic south, which was a stronghold. and so 64, again, a terrible year fo

so 1948, we had this kind of three way tie truman history and strom thurmond was also running and on the ticket, on a different ticket, the dixiecrat ticket. and so here we had three different polling organizations. so we went from literally digest in gallup. so now we have the different again journalists driving the story. so we had the crosley hearst newspapers doing polling in 1948. we had gallup kind of still in business, still kind of working with 100 independent newspapers and we had wolper and fortune magazine kind of doing polling at the time. so again, three different pollsters, all 1948, all polls had a lead of do we vote five points leading into two weeks out and all announced him as the victor. right. so gallup had 50,000 interviewers. roper one had 15,000 interviews, all were saying the same thing. everyone's consistent like we'll get if we do a poll aggregator. they're all saying the same thing. therefore, that's truth turns out right. and i'm relying on that. they're relying on the word that's all as long. so that's the fellow i was quoting earlier and his long politic
