Wallace over the staunchly anti-Soviet incumbent Harry S. Truman. The organization drew a significant part of its strength from left wing trade unions and the Communist Party, USA as well as pacifists and individuals favoring a relaxation of the Cold War. As of 2015, they are the only ticket to get over a million votes with fourth place status.
