Answer: Lost ground in farming stats like the Midwest and the great plains

Explanation:

While in 1936 Roosevelt had won in every state but Maine and Vermont, in the 1940 presidential election his margins were less decisive than in previous elections.

Labor unions, urban political organizations, and ethnic minorities were still favoring him, but eight states from the Midwest and Great Plains, mostly agricultural areas, shifted their votes from Roosevelt to Wendell Willkie, the Republican Candidate.
