Question

Which of the following most contributed to Roosevelt's landslide win in 1932?

People opposed the further expansion of federal programs.

Hoover's policies had failed to provide sufficient economic relief.

Answer 1

The answer is the last choice Hoover's policies had failed to provide sufficient economic relief.

Answer 2

The correct answer is: Hoover's policies had failed to provide sufficient economic relief.

The greatest reason why Hoover lost the presidential election in 1932, opening up the way for President Roosevelt, was the Great Depression, which started when he was in power, and even though he was tied to the economic policies of the previous governments, many people blamed him for the depression, and specially for not being able to get the country out of it.
