The 1956 election was a repeat of 1952.
Stevenson knowing Eisenhower popularity
rate tried to use everything against him that he could.
He used Eisenhower age and health because recently
he had survived a heart attack. Stevenson
was popular with the liberals for he was for
"all- volunteer" army, and social programs.
Eisenhower did three great things that helped
him become popular. 
He ended the korean war,
prosperous to the nation,
and supported the brown vs. board of Ed.
One thing I think they both should of done was the issue about civil rights. What do you think?
