Title: Dewey-Goldwater-McGovern counties? Post by: Dr. MB on February 07, 2018, 11:06:18 PM Are there any?
If not, what about Dewey-Goldwater-Mondale? Title: Re: Dewey-Goldwater-McGovern counties? Post by: SingingAnalyst on February 09, 2018, 06:12:14 PM I don't know of any, but I know of one town in which Mondale outperformed both Johnson and FDR '44 / Truman: Amherst, MA (home of Amherst College, Hampshire College, and UMass Amherst).
Johnson won 70% in Amherst in '64, Mondale won 71% in '84. I don't know what percentage Dewey got in '44 or '48, but Nixon got 60% in '60, so I think it's safe to say Dewey carried the town both times. Title: Re: Dewey-Goldwater-McGovern counties?
