GOP Gains Ground in Nation's Big Cities in 1952 Campaign
George Gallup reports the Republican Party appears to have gained ground in the 15 largest U.S. cities outside the South. In these metropoles, Republicans show 39 percent to Democrats 52 percent with 8 percent undecided. If undecideds follow the trend, the two party split shifts to 43 percent Republican and 37 percent Democratic. Eisenhower leads by about three points above his party due to Stevenson’s relative obscurity. The list of 15 cities includes New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Detroit, Baltimore, Cleveland, St. Louis, Boston, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Buffalo, Minneapolis and Cincinnati. The prior 1948 results show Democrats ahead in most cities, with varying margins. A key Democratic advantage this year is the absence of a strong third party after Wallace’s 1948 bid.
