Eisenhower obviously voted for himself in 1952 and 1956, and endorsed the Republican candidates in 1960, 1964, and 1968. (Though he was very reluctant about Goldwater.) However, how did he vote before 1952? Was he a lifelong Republican, or did he not become one until the 1940s? Did he vote for his bosses FDR and Truman? Did Eisenhower ever state how he voted in the 1930s and 1940s or in elections beforehand? Assuming he voted as soon as he was legally eligible to, his first election would have been 1912. If I had to guess, I would assume he was a lifelong Republican voter, but I don't know if he actually was.

He was a lifelong Republican and a decently partisan/conservative one at that (though he was professional and kept this to himself).  Truman commented on how much his friendship with Ike was strained once Ike’s politics became known.
Could you please link to sources to these claims, I'm having trouble finding anything.
