From Wikipedia: The Literary Digest was an influential general-interest weekly magazine in the early 20th century United States, published by Funk and Wagnalls. The first issue was in 1890. The Digest is almost certainly best-remembered today for the circumstances surrounding its demise. It conducted a "straw poll" regarding the likely outcome of the 1936 presidential election. The poll showed that the Republican governor of Kansas, Alf Landon, would likely be the overwhelming winner. In November, Landon carried only Vermont and Maine; U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt carried the then other forty-six states; Landon's electoral vote total of eight is a tie for the record low for a major-party nominee.
