Actually, the swing to FDR was in the Upper Peninsula, and indeed occurred in quite a few frost-belt areas in that election. So,  it does seem that:

  • the impact of the war industries on that mineral-rich region
  • lessening opposition to FDR’s war policies from Scandinavian Americans

may have been decisive for FDR in 1944
