...week wore on, less prejudiced guesstimates piled up. The Gallup poll showed the Eisenhower-Nixon popular vote holding steady at 52% (v. 55% at the same point in 1952), showed Stevenson-Kefauver down a percentage point since September to 40%-with undecideds at 8%. Perhaps the most impressive evidence came from hard-to-convince teams of New York Times reporters poking and probing into the political mainstreams of 16 states to report that...
...Among the precarious, prosperous Florida is still Republican; West Virginia is still Democratic. On the heels of his first campaign trip across Texas, Vice President Richard Nixon fired back another surprise for G.O.P. headquarters: do not write off Texas' 24 electoral votes in 1956.

Said McGrath: "Merely a tempest in a teapot...

At Washington's Sheraton-Park Hotel, 40 Eisenhower advocates from the capital area, 60 more brought in from around the U.S. by Citizens for Eisenhower-Nixon, gathered for a "press conference." Though Ike knew that his audience (it included ex-Yankee Phil Rizzuto, John Roosevelt, Medal of Honorman "Commando" Kelly, onetime Ambassador Lewis Douglas) was sympathetic, questions had not been screened...
