How different would Adlai Stevenson been as President if he'd been elected instead of Dwight Eisenhower?

I think in foreign policy, Stevenson would have been less aggressive than Eisenhower and would not have supported the coup against Mossadegh in Iran or the one in Guatemala. In domestic policy, I see Stevenson following pretty much the same economic policy and probably the same civil rights policy too-he didn't seem to have any trouble winning the Southern states in both of his elections unlike Truman, Kennedy, or Johnson.
