...Statistical sampling methods were employed, and this fact doubtless accounts in part for a Republican bias in the poll's 1952 returns. According to the voters' claims, those polled went 389 for Eisenhower, and 218 for Stevenson. This would give Eisenhower 64.1 per cent, although he actually drew only 56.1 percent in the precinct.

The inner power structure of the party, particularly in its close identification with the Vice President, remains dominated by the Old Guard. The leaders of the Republican party are William Knowland and Joseph Martin, men whose fondness for the Eisenhower program seems to spring more from practicality than from clear approval. Jacob Javits, Paul Hoffman, Arthur Larsen, and even the President are not the effective policy makers who determine the record of an Administration...
