Exploring the Dwight Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum
I was way too young to vote when I saw my first “I Like Ike” button. It seemed almost everyone liked former President Dwight Eisenhower. He led the allied armies, planned the Normandy Invasion, and promised to lead the country through the tricky years of the Cold War with Russia. He won the 1952 presidency by a margin of 54.9% and won his second term in 1956 by 57.4%. Throughout US history only nine presidents boast a larger percentage of popular votes.
