Although Eisenhower had little political experience, he proved to be an effective politician. During his two terms in office, he followed a moderate approach to domestic policy. He helped steer the country on a steady course. He avoided ambitious new government programs but resisted the pressure to abolish popular older ones and sometimes even expanded them.
