The correct answer is B) "The Democratic Party had split and polls predicted that Truman would lose."

People thought that Truman would lose the 1948 election because the Democratic Party had split and polls predicted that Truman would lose.

After the 1948 Democratic Convention, held in Philadelphia in the month of July, the party nominated Harry S. Truman as its candidate to the presidency. Let's remember that Truman was already the President after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

So when the party nominated Truman, the Democratic party split when some southern delegates left the place and forme the Dixiecrats, a third political party. That is why people thought that Truman would lose the 1948 election.

<em><u>The people thought  Truman would lose the 1948 election as The Democratic Party had split and polls predicted that Truman would lose. </u></em>

<em><u></u></em>

Further Explanations:

Harry S. Truman was the 33rd United States’ President. He was initially appointed as the Vice President during the Presidency of Franklin Roosevelt. He assisted in the  post for 82 days and just after the demise of Roosevelt, he was appointed as the President. Turman is ranked amongst the top-tiered President  as by all measures he was a brilliant decision-maker

Turman was a devotee of the Democratic Party ,and he occupied the post  of Presidency after Roosevelt in 1945 as the representative of the Democratic Party. During the general election of 1948, it was assumed  that Turman would lose the poll because of the split in the Democratic party. In the Democratic Convention of Philadelphia , Turman was chosen as the presidential candidate  for the upcoming election as he was already holding the post . His candidature was opposed by some Southern delegates and for that reason, they parted and formed  a Third-party , Dixiecrats .
