In OTL, FDR was re-elected with 60.8% of the popular vote, over Alf Landon's 36.5%. In a number of TLs here, Long would be able to give the election to Landon had he survived the assassination attempt or the assassination simply did not take place at all. However, given that Landon only got 36.5% of the vote in OTL, and the presence of a much stronger third party candidate may well take away some very few purely anti-FDR votes, is it possible that FDR could still be re-elected given that Long cannot split enough votes of him to win? What would be the effect of a much smaller victory, would FDR simply give up his 1940 run?
(This is not a thread to discuss the possibility of a stronger SOW challenge if Long survives, but that he does not run himself. Such a ticket may do better than William Lemke, but not possibly enough to cost FDR's election.)
