He was a moderate Republican who supported most of the New Deal (or at the very least didn't try to dismantle it), he worked hard to enforce desegregation after Brown v. Board, and fought to protect America from Soviet aggression.

Honestly, I think Ike is underrated, if anything.  He doesn't get anywhere near as much credit for passing civil rights legislation and enforcing desegregation, and as well as in other areas.  I suspect that probably has to do with the fact the he was Republican.
