Question

The democratic platform in 1948 was fairly conservative seeing that truman knew his reelection would be close, true or false

Answer 1

true
the democratic party knew that not only was the election close but also the chances of conservative republicans winning the election were fairly high. they thus were fairly conservative,putting the liberal flame a bit low, with an aim of winning on the growing conservative popularity. The election of Truman for the second term was a major upset in the history of the country.

Answer 2

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Their platform actually adopted the conviction of providing the "Four Freedoms" to all citizens. Even spreading this idea throughout the world. Democrats were always about protecting labor with more state, creating mandatory services with taxes (such as National Social Security) and things like that. Their speeches were frequently about how they were there to defend the people, not the rich (although this is very debatable). They were not conservative at all.
