Ike's percentages plummeted in the plains in '56. Not enough to risk losing these traditionally Republican states, but still significant. Witness these differences in his percentage totals...
'52 Ike '56 Ike
ND 70.97 % 61.72 %
SD 69.27 % 58.39 %
NE 69.15 % 65.51 %
KS 68.77 % 65.44 %
And noticeable drops in the west...
'52 Ike '56 Ike
MT 59.39 % 57.13 %
WY 62.71 % 60.08 %
CO 60.29 % 59.49 %
ID 65.42 % 61.17 %
WA 54.33 % 53.91 %
OR 60.54% 55.25 %
CA 56.83 % 55.39 %
NV 61.45 % 57.97 %
But he increased his percentage in the following states...
'52 Ike '56 Ike
AZ 58.35 % 60.99 %
NM 55.39 % 57.81 %
TX 53.13 % 55.26 %
OK 54.59 % 55.13 %
UT 58.93 % 64.56 %
In the plains, I would guess it had something to do with farm prices?
