I find absolutely hilarious the current Eisenhower nostalgia. Until Obama was elected he was generally considered among the bottom tier of Presidents, occasionally being considered just above mediocre.

From all the 18 Republican Presidents Eisenhower has always been considered the 3rd best, after Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt but anyway I just wanted to have a equal mix of Republicans and Democrats on the mountain.

And that's just revisionist bull****. He was absolutely vilified (not to Nixon's levels) throughout the decades from 1960 to 2000. Something about not doing enough for Civil Rights, being too old, encouraging false beliefs about the US (Leave It To Beaver), presiding over 8 years of stagnation after the Democratic victories for society in the Great Depression.
As I said, current Eisenhower worship is revisionist bull**** by Democrats deflecting from the absolute uselessness of the incumbent President.

Wrong. Completely wrong.
In every major survey since 1982 of Presidents by historians, President Eisenhower has ranked no lower than #12. In all 11 such surveys going back to 1994, he has ranked between #8 and #10 in all but one (where he placed #6, and that survey came in 2008, before Senator Obama was elected President).

President Eisenhower left office with a public approval rating of 60%. If you think that dived after he left office, only to surge again in the last half decade, feel free to actually provide some evidence of that. Good luck - it simply appears that you do not know what you're talking about.
It's still early, but it's refreshing to see that nobody has voted for Nixon or Obama, the two presidents who put the "lie" in "outlier".
