Latest United Press tabulations gave Mr Truman 2,247,365 votes as compared to 2,047,663 for his Republican opponent, Thomas Dewey.

J. Strom Thurmond, State's Rights candidate, had 204,876 and Henry Wallace 29,915,

Mr Truman led in 20 States with 252 potential electoral votes while Mr Dewey was ahead in 21 States with 230 potential electoral votes. Mr Thurmond led in three with 28 electoral votes.
