Also 1936 was the kind of landslide that is pretty rare for a presidential election, so it's not surprising that FDR lost some support in 1940 and 1944.  Plus, some voter fatigue would be expected for any four-term President, even for FDR.

And yeah, Dewey was a better candidate for the Republicans than Wilkie. He (rather infamously) came pretty close to beating Truman in 1948.
