Abstract
On the morning of November 5, 1956, Democrats across America were in despair. Dwight Eisenhower
had done it again. His first victory, in 1952, had been understandable—memories of his military leadership
in World War II were still fresh. But after four years of his bumbling presidency, as the Democrats
saw it, Americans should have been turning back to the party of Roosevelt and Truman. But they didn’t.
Even worse, Ike had improved his 1952 margin over Adlai Stevenson, this time beating him by almost
ten million votes. How could this happen?
