The other version of Hillary vs. The Gipper is FDR facing The Donald. How does this end up?

I don't know about FDR vs. Trump, but here's a map (on 1970s EVs, since those are equidistant) of FDR '44 vs. Romney '12; whoever was stronger in terms of margin gets the state. I gave out states/DC that weren't voting in the 1940s based on 2012 margins. It's mostly just the addition of the Solid South to the Obama '12 map, though Dewey's extremely dominant win in Colorado stands out as the only Obama '12 state FDR doesn't win.

Some observations -- yes, Obama won Vermont by more than Dewey did. Yes, Romney won West Virginia by more than FDR did.

Trump would only win Alabama, West Virginia, and Oklahoma against FDR.

FDR would have some problems with him. Though modern medicine would do much in convincing voters that FDR won't die on them, he would have some baggage. His decision to put Japanese citizens in concentration camps would be his "email scandal", and I suspect this would cause him to loose votes with Asian voters and perhaps a few percentages in other demographics.
His moderate appeal would be very helpful in countering Trump's appeal to white working class/no college degrees; however, his moderate social views would hurt him with social liberals. Additionally, Trump could make the argument that FDR is racist against minorities (because of course he would) and that FDR is not knowledgeable enough on the 21st century.
I'd suspect it to be something like this:


297: FDR (D-NY)/Sherrod Brown (D-OH) 40.7%
232: Donald Trump (R-NY)/Mary Fallin (R-OK) 35.2%
5: Gary Jonson (L-NM)/Bill Weld (L-MA) 20.2%
0: Jill Stein (G-MA)/Ajamu Baraka (G-DC) 3.9%

Gary and Jill play spoiler in New England and the West, but Gary has the same problem as Ross Perot had (except he actually wins something).
