What year? What administration. There was an obvious swing, but I have not been able to figure exactly when.

It wasn't in one administration, but was a progression over the 20 th century.
Lincoln came up with industrial/northerners. Wilson was a southern Dem descended from Jefferson and Jackson.
Industrial north began to turn Dem thru Labor, social issues as early as Bill Tilden, 1872. U.S. Civil War was for control of the West, which Republicans exploited.
LBJ passed pro-black legislation in mid-1960s, South turned Republican.

During FDRs terms with programs like the NRA, CCC, SSI, WPA, and a general vision of using governement to provide aid and social assistance. About that time the Democratic party became more liberal and socially progressive than the Republicans.

No it was later than that. The parties really switched platforms in the 60's.

Wish I could answer this. I'm curious myself. It seems the natural swing of things though as we are starting to see it again.
