President Eisenhower was pretty moderate, he kept the New Deal programs, plus high taxes, and was a pretty rabid anti-communist. Both Parties offered him to run 1948, but he turned them down, he eventually went to the Republicans because of a desire to break away from the more centralized power Democrats.
My question is, after 20 years of Democratic control of the White House, could Eisenhower, still as popular as ever, win the 1952 election?
