Definitely not 1948, as there was a racist 'seceding' from the Democratic party and winning some electoral votes. Also, Tom Dewey did really badly, getting about 45% of the popular vote nationwide and getting only 189 electoral votes. Dewey won only two states by 10% or more.

Without the Thurmond secession, Truman wins 342 electoral votes, which is a bit better than Obama did in 2008. Thurmond states were not going to vote for Dewey.

Obama won 365 in 2008. A bit better in 2012.
