Answer and Explanation:

In 1948, the Chicago Daily Tribune predicted that Harry Truman would lose the presidential election because many results during the early part of the elections favored Thomas E. Dewey, and seemed to convince most people that he would win the election; the Chicago Daily Tribune was convinced enough to print copies of their magazines and predict a Dewey victory with the caption: “Dewey Defeats Truman.” However, as it later turned out, Truman defeated Dewey, to the surprise of many.
